Indian Half Eagles
1916-S $5 MS63 PCGS. A solitary coinage of 240,000 half eagles was accomplished in 1916, at the San Francisco Mint. In the West, where gold still circulated, many of these were distributed into commercial channels and received various degrees of wear. Mint State coins are usually available for a price, but the quality varies greatly. This Select example is well-struck and satiny with original olive-gold coloration. Only light handling marks are evident beneath a loupe.
