Description

One of the Finest Known 1871-S Halves

1871-S MS 65 NGC. A lovely, lightly toned gem. The mintmark is very weak, and were this not in a holder the casual observer might never know it to be a product of the San Francisco Mint. This is the highest graded example by NGC (6/98), PCGS has also seen only one MS 65 with none higher.
