Description

Elusive Gem 1910 Half Eagle

1910 $5 MS65 NGC. Like other Philadelphia issues aside from the rare 1929, the 1910 is available in lackluster or abraded Mint State grades. However, it emerges as a significant rarity at the MS65 level, and is virtually unobtainable any finer. This straw-gold representative has satin luster and a remarkably abrasion-free obverse. The reverse displays only a couple of minor thin marks. The strike is precise throughout the eagle's plumage, and even the lower reaches of the headdress offer crisp detail. A pleasing high grade example of Bela Lyon Pratt's recessed relief design. Census: 26 in 65, 3 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N7079)
