Description

Elusive Near-Gem 1913-S
Indian Half Eagle

1913-S $5 MS64 PCGS. The 1913-S follows the pattern of several S-mint Indian half eagles, being relatively available in the circulated and lower Mint State grades, but legitimately scarce once the Choice Uncirculated level is reached. Offered here is splendid near-Gem representative that displays excellent sharpness except for a shallow, shapeless mintmark that is nearly diagnostic for a 1913-S. The luster, however, is especially vibrant and the satin surfaces exude vivid orange-gold patina. Outstanding, nearly unsurpassable quality for this conditionally scarce half eagle issue. Population: 15 in 64, 2 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N10218)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25ZP, PCGS# 8526, GSID# 9327)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
