*Highlight* 1914-s Gold Indian Half Eagle $5 Select+ Unc USCG. Superior striking quality and surface preservation highlight this significant rarity among Indian half eagles. The devices are uniformly bold with most features sharp. Although slightly granular, as befits the issue, the luster is suitably vibrant and a distinct cut above the norm for a Mint State 1914-S half eagle. The vivid rose-gold color adds a appeal. Advanced 20th century gold collectors would be wise to pursue this coin with vigor.The 1914-S is one of the leading condition rarities in the Indian half eagle series of 1908 to 1929. Thanks to a sizable hoard that entered the numismatic market before 1988, low end Mint State coins are obtainable with patience, although they are still scarce by the standards of the type. Beginning at the MS-63 level, however, the 1914-S emerges as a rare to very rare issue. Indeed, in the finest Mint State grades this issue is tied with the 1912-S as the most challenging Indian half eagle to collect. Definitely an important offering and we expect this impressive piece to perform exceptionally well at auction.
