Description

1911 Half Eagle, CAC-Approved MS65
Few Finer Pieces Are Known

1911 $5 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Ex: Harbor View. Although nearly 1 million half eagles were struck at Philadelphia in 1911, this issue is conditionally scarce in MS65. The elevated fields of Bela Lyon Pratt's design were prone to abrasion, meaning that few examples of any issue survived in high grade unless they were preserved for numismatic purposes. The 1911 is almost uncollectible above MS65, and this piece is among the finest coins with CAC endorsement. Satiny orange-gold luster illuminates well-struck design elements, and the recesses of the design are especially luminous. A few faint, scattered luster grazes are discernible with a loupe but are not out of line for the grade. Population: 72 in 65 (3 in 65+), 2 finer. CAC: 28 in 65, 0 finer (11/18).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 28DP, PCGS# 8520, Greysheet# 9311)
