Description

1909-S Half Eagle, MS63
Seemingly Underrated Issue

1909-S $5 MS63 PCGS. Somewhat overshadowed by the key-date 1909-O, the 1909-S is actually a significant condition rarity in its own right. The date boasts one of the lowest Mint State population totals in the series and is most often found in MS62 or lower grades. At the MS63 level the 1909-S becomes genuinely rare, with finer pieces rarer still. This representative exhibits the crisp, razor-sharp strike that this San Francisco issue is admired for, with satiny golden luster and unusually clean fields for the grade. The collector will be hard-pressed to locate a visually or technically finer example. Population: 28 in 63, 20 finer (9/14).(Registry values: N4719)
