Description

1929 MS 60 Cleaned on Obverse. Although the mint in Philadelphia produced 662,000 of these coins in this, the final year of production of the half eagle series, most were never released for circulation, and subsequently melted. This accounts for the high degree of scarcity for this mass produced date. This specimen is well struck and quite lustrous on the reverse, while the obverse shows evidence of light polishing. Trends $5,900 in MS 60 (5/23).
