ロット詳細

A frosty Gem with strong underlying luster that supports rich peach and rose iridescence. Nicely struck with just a touch of lightness in the reverse arrow feathers and adjacent claw. An issue that is considerably scarcer across the grading spectrum than its mintage of 933,900 pieces suggests; like most San Francisco Mint half dollars of the era, the 1897-S saw heavy duty in the channels of commerce. It is remarkable, indeed, that Gems of the present quality exist at all!
