Description

1916-S Indian Half Eagle, MS65
Only Three Numerically Finer at PCGS

1916-S $5 MS65 PCGS. CAC. Although the five dollar denomination was not officially retired until 1933, half eagles were not in demand after 1916, and the denomination was not produced again until 1929. A nominal mintage of 240,000 business-strike coins was accomplished at the San Francisco Mint in 1916, and some high-quality pieces were saved by contemporary collectors. In fact, an original hoard of a few hundred Mint State examples surfaced in recent times, but few of those coins were of Gem-or-better quality. The present coin is a spectacular MS65 specimen, with razor-sharp definition on the design elements and well-preserved yellow and rose-gold surfaces that radiate vibrant mint luster. Eye appeal is terrific. Population: 11 in 65 (1 in 65+), 3 finer (7/15).
