Description

Attractive 1911-S Half Eagle, MS63

1911-S $5 MS63 ICG. Despite the generous mintage of 1.4 million pieces, Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth report the 1911-S Indian Head half eagle is surprisingly scarce in Mint State grades. The present coin is a pleasing example of this scarce date. The devices are strongly impressed, with crisp detail on the lowest feathers of the headdress, an area often seen weakly struck. The surfaces show a minimum number of handling marks for the grade.(Registry values: N2998)
