1914-D $5 MS (PCGS#8528)

November 2025 Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

Losbeschreibung: Soft satin to frosty luster mingles with vivid rose-gold color to provide outstanding eye appeal. The technical quality of this piece is no less impressive, both sides boldly struck and so well preserved as to rank among the finest examples of the issue known to PCGS. A premium Gem that will please even the most discerning collector.<p>A median rarity in the Indian half eagle series, the 1914-D is actually one of the more frequently encountered mintmarked issues of this type. The mintage is a respectable, if not overly generous 247,000 pieces, and enough have survived that locating a lower grade Uncirculated coin in the MS-60 to MS-62 range should prove a relatively easy task. Any finer and the 1914-D develops into a notable condition rarity. This is the first Gem in PCGS MS-65 that we have offered through auction in a decade, quite a statement given our distribution of the remarkable Fairmont Collection holdings in recent years. Clearly this is a fleeting opportunity worthy of the utmost attention from advanced 20th century gold collectors.
