Losbeschreibung

Scarce Mint State preservation for this conditionally challenging San Francisco Mint half eagle. Lustrous with a softly frosted texture, both sides display richly original color in warm honey-gold. Uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade, an impressively bold strike overall adds to this coin's appeal. An elusive coin in all Mint State grades, the 1910-S ranks sixth of 24 Indian half eagle issues in terms of total number of uncirculated coins believed extant. Examples above the MS-62 level are particularly elusive, placing considerable collector pressure on premium BU survivors, as offered here.
