Description

1912-S Indian Half Eagle, MS63
Important Condition Rarity

1912-S $5 MS63 PCGS. In their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth discuss the importance of this issue: "One of the classic rarities and most difficult issues to obtain in Mint State, the 1912-S issue has earned its reputation, which is quite a feat considering the number of rarities among the Indian Head half eagle series." Although somewhat softly struck as always, this example is highly lustrous with brilliant yellow-gold surfaces accented by a trace of the lightest pink toning possible. The surfaces on both sides have a few light ticks, as expected for the grade. This is an exceptional and highly desirable example. Population: 28 in 63, 22 finer (3/25).
