Description
1916-S Indian Eagle. MS-62+ (PCGS). CAC.
A pretty honey-rose and orange-gold example with sharp striking detail and billowy mint frost. The 1916-S is the 10th scarcest of the 32 issues in the Indian eagle series. Although the recorded mintage of 138,500 pieces implies availability, this is only true in lower Mint State or, even more so, circulated grades. Furthermore, this date suffered particularly from the massive meltings that gobbled up the survivors in later years, most of those known today having returned from European banks in recent decades. Premium examples like the present piece are truly scarce.
PCGS# 8880. NGC ID: 28H7.
CAC Population: 17; 17. The former total includes coins certified both MS-62 and MS-62+.
From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
