Lot Title: 1917-S Type 2. NGC MS-65.
Description: The details at Liberty's head are tantalizingly close to qualifying for "full head" attribution, since the three leaves are clearly defined, as is the separation between cap and forehead, but the ear hole is not quite plain. Regardless of strike denotations, the type-1 and type-2 for 1917-S are about equally difficult in any better mint-state grade, and gem quality is in plain evidence here. Supremely attractive mother-of-pearl luster gleams from the obverse fields, while the reverse is draped in modulating citrus-gold and platinum-tan hues, accented at the upper edge by a fine mist of indigo iridescence. Isolated tiny ticks define the technical grade.

That the head lacks just a bit of detail at the temple is too bad, since on balance, the definition is outstanding, including strong inner and outer shield elements. Both of the mintmarked type-2...
