Elusive Gem 1912 Half Eagle

1912 $5 MS65 PCGS. The 1912 is a well-made issue that almost always features bold design definition, making it one of the great choices for type collectors. Despite its general availability, the 1912 is one entry in a lineup of conditionally rare Indian half eagles. The O'Neal Gem ranks among the finest that any collector can hope to obtain. Fuljenz writes: "Unlike the 1908 and 1909, this is a date that is nearly unknown above MS65 and the connoisseur will be lucky to find an accurately graded MS65."
As expected, the O'Neal Gem has a bold strike with remarkable design definition, almost perfectly representing the intentions of the artist, Bela Lyon Pratt. Both sides have brilliant yellow luster with frosty texture, and the surfaces lack any significant marks, rendering all attempts to locate a past provenance unsuccessful. Population: 46 in 65, 0 finer (11/10).
