The 1914-S is the ultimate example of a true condition rarity with just a handful of coins existing above MS63. MS62 examples are the most popular collector grade pieces with many desiring MS63s. MS64 or finer is considered a nearly unattainable rarity. This date comes very nicely struck but otherwise quite dull all around making any lustrous gems the highlight of any auction.
