Important Gem 1915 Half Eagle
No Numerically Finer Examples

1915 $5 MS65 NGC. There are no MS66 examples of this issue in the combined certified population (9/11), and this Gem representative of the 1915 half eagle ranks as conditionally scarce in its condition. Warmly lustrous surfaces shift from light yellow-gold to pale orange as the coin is tilted in the light. The strike is crisp, including complete outlines of the three pendants in the necklace, and the overall preservation is as stunning as the eye appeal. The 1915 would be the last half eagle issue struck at Philadelphia until 1929, and only the 1916-S issue comes between the two dates.(Registry values: N4719)
