Description du lot

Choice Mint State 1910-S $5 1910-S Indian Half Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). 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 rare 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, as here, are particularly elusive and eagerly sought by advanced gold enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. PCGS# 8519. NGC ID: 28DM.
