Remarkable MS66 1901-S Half Eagle

1901-S $5 MS66 PCGS. CAC. The 1901-S offers the twin appeals of the popular S mintmark and its status as probably the most common half eagle in high grades--a status due as much to the large mintage as to the overall excellent production criteria. This remarkable Premium Gem displays those criteria in abundance, with a nearly full strike (save for a couple of obverse star centers), glorious luster, and attractive red-orange coloration. Abrasions are virtually absent. Population: 43 in 66, 2 finer (9/09).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25YX, PCGS# 8404, GSID# 9102)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
