<B>1916-S $5 MS65 NGC.</B></I> The 1916-S half eagle, with a mintage of 240,000 pieces, is generally available in the lower grades of Mint State, probably due, at least in part, to a hoard of Uncirculated pieces that turned up in El Salvador a couple of decades ago (Walter Breen, <I>Complete Encyclopedia of U. S. and Colonial Coins</B></I>). Gem coins, however, are elusive, as gleaned from the NGC/PCGS population data, indicating 20 or so examples, all in MS65 or MS66.<BR> Glowing luster exudes from the apricot-gold surfaces of this Gem, and well defined design features result from a well executed strike. A few minute grade-consistent marks on the reverse probably preclude an even higher grade. Census: 8 in 65, 2 finer (11/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Bela Lyon Pratt<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
