1915-S $5 MS60 NGC....

Description

1915-S $5 MS60 NGC. While 164,000 '15-S half eagles were coined, most entered circulation and quickly wore down. Very few examples have survived in Mint State, most known example being in Fine to Extremely Fine grades. This issue also tends to be weakly struck. The MS60 specimen we offer here is well impressed, save for a touch of softness in the lower feathers of the bonnet, and on the shoulder of the eagle's left wing. Soft luster peeks through yellow-gold patination, and scattered small marks, none of which are individually serious, are noted in the open fields, especially on the reverse.
