1912-S. PCGS graded MS-65. For the connoisseur, we present a remarkable 1912-S Eagle in full MS-65 condition, certified as such by the world-class grading experts at PCGS. The luster on this piece is amazing and far superior to the lifeless, almost matte texture usually seen on this date. Both sides feature bold cartwheel luster where the light dances over the surfaces. Hints of orange and pink toning complete the picture, contributing to a very impressive level of eye appeal. This is an extremely popular series, although it takes much fortitude and money to enjoy it at the top levels. However, we can't think of a more pleasurable way to own this date than with the coin offered here. PCGS reports a mere 7 coins at this level, with only one coin finer (at the MS-66 level).
Interestingly enough, Saint Gaudens' Indian Head design was originally intended for the Cent, was later auditioned for the Double Eagle, but ended up on the Eagle! Estimated Value $30,000 - 37,000
