Description

1882-S Half Eagle, MS65
Conditionally Rare

1882-S $5 MS65 NGC. With 969,000 pieces struck, the 1882-S half eagle is not known as an absolute rarity, being readily available in the lower grades of Uncirculated; in fact, it is one of those issues that one doesn't really think much about until a Gem such as this surfaces. Only 43 Gems have been certified by both NGC and PCGS, with just four coins numerically finer (3/15). This is a lovely, smooth-surfaced piece that is sharply defined in all areas. A couple of minor luster grazes are noted in the fields but we see no abrasions on the devices of this Condition Census example. Census: 33 in 65 (1 in 65+), 3 finer (3/15).
