- Exceptional Choice Uncirculated 1912-S Half Eagle 1912-S Indian Half Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. This is a boldly colored example displaying reddish-honey surfaces. It is also sharply struck in most areas with pleasing satin luster. The S mintmark is typically soft, yet near-fully outlined and readily identifiable. A condition rarity at this grade level, and one of the more difficult issues to find at all from this popular 20th century gold series. The 1912 San Francisco Mint coins were not scarce when struck -- the mintage of the 1912-S half eagle has a relatively generous mintage of 392,000 coins -- but after the mid 1930s most of these were melted down. Perhaps a few thousand or so exist today, virtually all of them circulated to some degree, and only a small percentage are still in Mint State, most of course at the lower range. For the date and mint specialist of this series, this condition rarity Choice example would make a welcome addition and greatly enhance any advanced collection.
