***Auction Highlight*** 1916-s Gold Indian Half Eagle $5 Graded Select Unc By USCG.Although several small hoards of Uncirculated coins entered the numismatic market from overseas sources beginning in the early to mid 1980s, the 1916-S remains elusive in mint state. The typical hoard coin, while invariably well struck, is heavily abraded with inferior luster quality. Additionally, not enough Mint State examples have been located to place the 1916-S among the more plentiful Indian half eagles. Accordingly this is one of the scarcer issues of its type in Mint State. With the technical quality and eye appeal offered here the 1916-S is rarer yet, a fact that is sure to result in strong competition for this lot.
