***Auction Highlight*** 1914-p Near Top POP! Gold Indian Half Eagle $5 Graded ms65+ By SEGS. The 1914 half eagle claims a mintage of only 247,000 pieces, partially explaining its scarcity in high grade. A significant number of lightly circulated coins are known in XF and AU grades, but gold did not widely circulate in the U.S. by 1914. Quantities of this date remained in the banking system until years later, acquiring numerous surface abrasions. As a result, this issue has a reputation for being elusive in Gem condition today. The present coin is spectacular in both its preservation and eye appeal, displaying the razor-sharp strike typical of this issue. The lower headdress feathers exhibit pinpoint definition, and the eagle's trailing leg is boldly detailed. The surfaces are less granular than often seen on half eagles of this date, and the mint luster is vibrant and frosty. Tied For 3rd Finest Known I Have Included the other ms65+ Exmaple As a Compartion A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
