- A very scarce date in Mint State, the 1914-S is particularly rare in MS-63 or higher grades, as much of the original mintage of only 263,000 went into circulation or were melted in the 1930s. David Akers noted that a "mini-hoard" made some lower end Mint State coins available, but his statement that a "strictly graded MS-63" is "very rare" and is borne out in the census and population data from the 3rd party grading services.<p><p>Well struck, as is seen for this date, most every detail is well rendered and crisp. A frosted luster highlights a medium golden color with warm honey hues in the recesses. There is some minor contact, nothing worth individual notation, and truly on the cusp of a Choice Mint State grade. This is a date that becomes prohibitive for many collectors any finer, and with its bold visual allure, this one is certainly going to garner strong bidding competition.
