Lot Description

1914-D Indian Half Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC. Softly frosted luster mingles with vivid deep rose-gold color to provide outstanding eye appeal. The technical quality of this piece is impressive, with both sides sharply struck and so well preserved as to be not all that far from the full Gem category. A premium example that will please even the most discerning collector. 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 247,000 pieces, and enough have survived that locating a lower grade Uncirculated coin in the MS-60 to MS-63 range should prove relatively easy. Any finer, however, and the 1914-D develops into a notable condition rarity. In the higher Mint State grades, as here, the 1914-D is rarer than the 1908-S, 1909-D and 1910. PCGS Population: 33; 20 finer (MS-66+ finest). PCGS# 8528. NGC ID: 28DV. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
