Well Struck 1929 Half Eagle, MS62

1929 $5 MS62 PCGS. The 1929 half eagle is rarer than its mintage of 662,000 pieces might suggest. Most of the coins were not released into the channels of commerce, but rather were retained in federal vaults until the gold Recall Act of 1933. Most of the original mintage was thus destroyed at the Mint.
The peach-gold surfaces of this MS62 example are imbued with hints of light green and tan, and display soft luster. The design elements are generally well impressed. A few minute handling marks are visible on each side, especially in the raised, exposed fields.(Registry values: N4719)
