***Auction Highlight*** 1912-s Gold Indian Half Eagle $5 Graded Select Unc By USCG. Up for auction is one of the keys to the $5 Indian Gold series. To Quote David Akers of PCGS:” If one considers overall appearance or "eye appeal" as part of the grade, then the 1912-S could possibly be considered the rarest Indian Head half eagle. Actually, any Mint State 1912-S is rare. The 1912-S is one of the most poorly made, if not the absolute most poorly made, gold issues of the 20th century. The Mint had serious die problems for this issue and nearly all specimens have a nearly invisible, amorphous mintmark and below-average luster. In addition, the dies usually show signs of deterioration near the rims and the overall result is not very pleasing to the eye. The only positive thing one can say is that the color of a typical 1912-S is usually quite good, light to medium orange gold being the most common, although rich yellow gold examples exist as well.” A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win Coin
