1910-S $5 MS (PCGS#8519)

The Regency Auction 45

详细说明: Despite a generous mintage of 770,200 struck, the 1910-S half eagle is a MAJOR condition rarity in this challenging 20th century series. It is an honor to offer this Condition Census, near GEM caliber example, one that ranks among the top 10 examples graded by PCGS--a perfect Registry Set coin. The first thing that catches your eye is the stunning, rich, multicolored golden patina. Depending on the angle, the color ranges from deep orange to pale honey-wheat. There is a tiny tick noted in front of the Indian's nose, and there are some minor traces of contact in the dreaded right field, but nothing serious--indeed, in the old days, we think this coin would have been described as a GEM BU--and to the naked eye, this coin has serious claims to that lofty designation. The strike is razor sharp and every detail was deeply embossed by the precision blow from the dies. The eye appeal is truly spectacular! PCGS 23, NGC 18, CAC 8. There are three graded PCGS MS66+ and just seven finer. The only PCGS MS64+ sold four years ago for $39,950. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $48,500. Note: There has NOT been a PCGS-graded GEM sold in nearly five years! They are just not around and a PCGS/CAC MS65 will likely approach a six-figure price tag. Bid aggressively to bring home this exceptional 1910-S five! Cert. Number 6271449 PCGS # 8519.00
