Lot Title: 1927-S NGC MS-63.
Description: Strike quality proved to be an issue at the San Francisco mint for just about anything they put out during the 1920s, and this characteristic is much of what makes it so difficult to grades S-mint coins of that era. At hand is a 1927-S half-dollar that clearly possesses surface quality finer than what is suggested by the MS-63 grade, yet a faulty strike failed to bring up central details on either side, resulting in a coin that is at once lustrous and a bit flat. Fortunately, the eye-appeal is aided by an attractive toast-gold border that is further enhanced by slivers of jade-green album color lying next to the lower obverse, and upper and lower reverse rims.
