1910-S $5

Coin / United States of America / 1910 / San Francisco / $5 Indian Gold / $5 (Five Dollars)

The 1910-S Half Eagle is a very scarce date with most Mint State examples in existence being in the 60 to 63 range. Just about a dozen or so gems exist continuing the trend of this series with a great lack of high grade uncirculated coins. This issue matches the average rarity of the many better date S-Mint coins in this series.
