Lot Description

1908-S Indian Half Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). Blended medium gold and pale orange patina is seen on both sides of this overall sharply struck, fully lustrous example. As the first San Francisco Mint issue in the Indian half eagle series, the 1908-S was saved in significant numbers with the result that Mint State survivors are more available than the mintage of 82,000 pieces might imply. Such coins are still scarce in an absolute sense, however, and this premium quality MS-62 is sure to attract strong bids from gold enthusiasts. PCGS# 8512. NGC ID: 28DG.
