Fantastic MS66 1908-S Half Eagle

1908-S $5 MS66 PCGS. Despite a mintage of just 82,000 pieces, the 1908-S half eagle has considerable availability through most grades, both circulated and Mint State; the former comes from the commercial activity many examples went through on the West Coast, while the latter is credited to a hoard, most often linked to Virgil Brand. Still, coins above the MS65 level are rarities, and this Premium Gem ranks highly for both preservation and eye appeal. Uncommonly lustrous yellow-gold surfaces host devices that are generally crisply impressed, and slight softness on the lowest pendant of the necklace is hardly worrisome. A handful of pinpoint flaws in the fields are all that preclude an even finer designation. Population: 13 in 66, 8 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N7079)
