Beautifully Toned and Scarce Near-Gem 1916-S Half Eagle

1916-S $5 MS64 PCGS. Luscious red-brown and mint-green coloration adorns the satiny surfaces of this conditionally scarce near-Gem. The well struck features are illuminated by rich luster, and are exquisitely preserved, leading one to wonder why this piece has not been graded as a Gem. A slightly better date in the series that is still difficult to locate in MS64 and better condition, even though relatively available in lower grades.
