1910-S. PCGS graded MS-65+PQ.
CAC Approved

Here is a majestic gem of this prized date and
mint, which is frosty and untoned. This great coin has it all, and offers not only incredible condition, but in-
credible rarity as well. Alone at this lofty grade of MS-65 and topped only by a single coin which is graded
MS-66 by PCGS, making this piece likely the second finest 1910-S half eagle to exist. The mint bloom is
breathtaking and the surfaces are amazing to behold. They are so well preserved, and free of handling
issues that normally plague even common dates in gem condition—not so here, all is fresh, vibrant and
attractive. Survivors of this San Francisco issue are downright scarce, especially with any decent grade to
them, the only sort of available grade for most collectors is MS-62, and those still require quite a premium
to acquire. Most of the known survivors fall into the high AU grades or top out at MS-61 for the 1910-S
half eagle. If you want a high end gem, and one with
CAC
approval, this is the only, and finest, coin to
buy.
