Lot Title:
|
1917-S Reverse. PCGS MS-62.
|
|
Description:
|
The 1917-S is commonly found with poor strike details for both mintmarked versions, so the improvement over average offered by the present coin is worthy of appreciation. The cartwheel effect is a little subdued, as is usually found for this issue, and planchet abrasions near the central areas were not effectively effaced by the strike. Lightly patinated with vanilla-beige tone.
