Lot Description

A boldly colored example displaying deep olive-honey and warmer orange-gold. This piece also delivers strong luster in a softly frosted texture. Areas of softness are noted, including at the mintmark, which is typically soft, yet fully outlined and readily identifiable. The 1912-S is among the scarcer entries in the Mint State Indian half eagle series. The offered example is both more colorful and more lustrous than most other MS-62s that we have offered in recent years. Premium bids are fully justified.
