Losbeschreibung

Seldom offered Choice Uncirculated quality for this conditionally challenging San Francisco Mint half eagle. Fully lustrous with a softly frosted texture, both sides display richly original color in warm honey-apricot. Uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade, an impressively sharp strike overall adds to this coin's appeal. A scarce 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.
