1901-S PCGS MS-62.

Booming luster will get under your skin, like a bomb that's ready to blow. Look for definition that's got everything except for perhaps the finest details. Shoot to thrill, play to kill. |
|
1159 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $575.00 |
1901-S PCGS MS-63.
|
"S/S" was not attributed, and this die-state shows some quite handsome die-cracks on the reverse. Indeed, even the obverse joins in the fun with a spindly connector between the first two stars. |
|
1160 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $800.00 |
1901-S NGC MS-64.
|
"S/S" is not mentioned on the slab despite what appears to be a clear under-mintmark. A great coin for MS-64, both sides display consistent, attractive blush-gold patina. |
|
946 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $475.00 |
1901-S PCGS MS-61.
|
Small die cracks have begun to assemble around UNITE on the reverse, indicating stress and strain for that die. Both sides exhibit only minimal pale luster for a mint-state grade. |
|
947 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $575.00 |
1901-S NGC MS-63.
|
Nicely defined aside from a weak mintmark. Sparse hairlines occupy the obverse lower left field, but the balance of this side, along with the entire reverse, is relatively free from abrasions at... |
|
904 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $1,250.00 |
1901-S PCGS MS-64.
|
Impeccable original quality is easily identified by some carbon patches on the reverse, none of them obtrusive. Strong details are as-expected for a 1901-S, with most of the stars almost fully... |
|
905 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $1,900.00 |
1901-S NGC MS-65.
|

|
503 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $1,050.00 |
1901/0-S PCGS MS-63.
|
Ted Clark was a well-known numismatist in the 1960s and 70s, often called "Mr. Overdate" for his specialization in that field. He discovered the 1901/0-S half-eagle in 1973, and the variety has... |

1901-S NGC MS-62.

1901-S NGC MS-62.
|
Just about every half-eagle dated 1898 or later is common up through lower uncirculated grades, and 1901-S is relegated to practically bullion status, even in MS-62. This is a decent enough example,... |
|
1073 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $3,800.00 |
1901-S PCGS MS-65 CAC.
|
Surface quality is buttery smooth and essentially immaculate on the obverse, exceeding expectations of an MS-65 grade, while the reverse features perhaps a few more abrasions than typical. The appeal... |
|
807 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $725.00 |
1901-S MS-62.

1901-S PCGS MS-63 (OGH).
|
Properly designated as a common issue in the half-eagle series, this 1901-S is graded MS-63 in a PCGS rattler holder and seems to be upper end for the grade. Of note is a rather extensively developed... |
|
1169 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $825.00 |
1901-S NGC MS-63.

|
917 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $1,100.00 |
1901-S PCGS MS-64.

Shimmering with golden mint frost. The strike was good enough to impart nearly full details even to the peripheral stars. |
|
1017 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $1,150.00 |
1901-S NGC MS-64.

|
934 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008 | $675.00 |
1901-S and 1906-S Coronet half-eagles, certified by NGC
|
A dusting of bronze color tints the 1901-S coin which seems a bit nicer than the MS-61 grade assigned by NGC. The 1906-S is flashier at MS-62 and also seems a bit choice for the grade. Two coin lot. |
