Amazing Gem 1884-S Half Eagle

1884-S $5 MS65 NGC. This attractive S-mint five, easily one of the best survivors from its issue of 177,000 pieces, offers excellent detail on the sharp central devices, and the yellow-gold surfaces offer plenty of flash and even a degree of reflectivity. Occasional minor luster grazes in the fields are consistent with the grade. While the 1884-S is priced close to type for most grades, even the lowest levels of Mint State, this half eagle issue is substantially more elusive in Select and Choice. At the Gem level, NGC has graded just two examples and PCGS acknowledges none (6/08).(Registry values: P3)
