Lot 1307
1929. PCGS graded MS-62. PQ. CAC. A nice frosty example that offers the collector a true mint state coin that shows full mint fresh luster and a decent strike. Rarely is this date found at all, and most of the known survivors are in the MS-60 to MS-62 grade range. The strike is characteristically soft on the lowest headdress feather and the often seen low area through STATES OF is present on the upper reverse. Half eagle production came to a sudden and probably unexpected halt in 1916 when San Francisco finished stirking their coins in that year, production would remain halted at all mints until these 1929 coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint, which as events unfolded would become the final year of production for the Indian half eagle. Recently graded for the first time. Mostly untoned and frosty (PCGS # 8533) Estimate Value $30,000 - 33,000
