1914-D Five Dollar, MS66
Condition Census Rarity

1914-D $5 MS66 PCGS. Ex: Simpson. The 1914-D half eagle is conditionally rare in MS65, and only a handful of finer pieces are known. The Condition Census for this issue consists of three MS66s at PCGS (one of which is Plus graded) and a single MS66 at NGC (11/24). We handled this piece in our 2021 Central States Signature auction, and before that, a similarly graded MS66 appeared in our August 2012 Philadelphia Signature. To our knowledge, no other MS66 example has appeared at public auction at any auction house over the past dozen years.

The auction record for a 1914-D half eagle is held by the present coin for the $86,250 that it realized in our 2010 Central States Signature. Each side is aglow with honey-gold hues that are laced with lilac iridescence. Superlative surfaces are nearly perfect in their preservation, particularly the fields. A loupe reveals only the most minute signs of contact, which serve as pedigree markers to the finely tuned eye. A stunning example of one of the most conditionally challenging dates in the Indian half eagle series. Population: 3 in 66 (1 in 66+), 0 finer (11/24).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4-5/2010), lot 2274; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2021), lot 4182.(Registry values: N10218)
