1897-S Half Eagle, MS67
Elusive Condition Rarity
Tied for Finest Certified

1897-S $5 MS67 PCGS. CAC. We offered an MS68 PCGS 1897-S half eagle in January 2005, with one MS64 next in line as the finest examples we have ever offered. That amazing MS68 no longer appears on the PCGS Population Report. That service has only certified 57 Mint State examples of this moderate mintage issue. The current records report three MS67 examples as the finest that PCGS has certified (7/14). This Superb Gem has exquisite surfaces with brilliant satin surfaces exhibiting exceptional orange gold luster. A few amazing examples of various San Francisco Mint half eagles survive since they were acquired, often directly from the mint in the year of issue.(Registry values: P3)
