Lot Description

Lovely golden-apricot iridescence deepens a bit at the rims. Luster is full and intense in a texture that combines satin and softly frosted qualities. Liberty's head, the top of the date, and a few other features show typical softness of strike for the issue, but the in-hand appearance is impressively bold, and the surface preservation and eye appeal are outstanding. Despite having only a slightly lower mintage (5,552,000 vs. 6,224,400 coins), the 1917-S Type II is markedly scarcer in all grades than its Denver Mint counterpart. This flashy upper end Gem will please even the most discerning numismatist.
