Lot 2518
1917-S. Mint Mark On Reverse. PCGS graded MS-64. Lightly toned. As the relative mintage figures relate, the majority of S-mint half dollars delivered in 1917 occur with the mintmark in the new reverse position below the pine branch. The total delivery for the '17-S Reverse amounted to a sizeable 5.5 million coins. With such a high mintage, it should come as no surprise that this is a plentiful issue in circulated grades. The same, however, cannot be said for choice Mint State survivors. Free of wear with full luster, this is a scarce issue in MS64. Since the '17-S Reverse also has problems with strike, a sharply detailed example is of even further rarity in the finer Uncirculated grades.
A truly above-average representative whose surfaces are fully original with radiant, frosty luster. Pop 221; 52 finer (PCGS # 6573) .
Estimated Value $1,900 - 2,000.
