Lot 1302
1915-S. PCGS graded MS-62. CAC Approved. Choice for the given grade. This has a small mark in the obverse field by the chin, and another on the reverse and also in the field, left of the eagle's neck. Still quite lustrous, though not vibrant as might be found on a much more costly higher grade example (rarely affordable to even the most well-heeled buyers). Yet, knowing how scarce the 1915-S, we can say in all honesty that it contains an array of vivid golden colors. A small region of striking weakness is seen at the S mintmark on almost all of the Half Eagles struck in San Francisco, due to its exposed position on the surface; elsewhere, the eagle's plumage shows completely, down to the neck and leg details and the small wing feathers near the eagle’s shoulder. A lovely MS62, the present prize is very attractive. Pop 164; 58 finer (PCGS # 8531) .
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.
