Scarce Near-Gem 1905-S Half Eagle

1905-S $5 MS64 PCGS. Most of the production of the 1905-S was apparently released into West Coast circulation, since the issue is scarce in Mint State and a rarity at the MS64 level. Only occasional minuscule grazes separate this crisply struck and lustrous yellow-gold example from status as a full-fledged Gem. Population: 23 in 64, 4 finer (5/09).
