Description

1882-S Half Eagle, MS66
None Graded Finer

1882-S $5 MS66 PCGS. The Premium Gem grade level is as good as it gets for the 1882-S, a conditionally challenged half eagle from a plentiful mintage of 969,000 pieces. This is a splendid example with richly frosted orange-gold surfaces and a razor-sharp strike on every element of the design. Only a few shallow grazes and tiny marks are seen on either side, while eye appeal is exceptional. There are only a handful of MS66 coins extant, and neither NGC nor PCGS report a finer example. This coin would serve an important role in any fine Registry Set. Population: 3 in 66, 0 finer (1/20).(Registry values: P2)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25XJ, PCGS# 8360, Greysheet# 9076)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
