The denomination 5 DOLLARS struck below the eagle. General Notes: The 1910-S Half Eagle is a very scarce date with most Mint State examples in existence being in the 60 to 63 range. Just about a dozen or so gems exist continuing the trend of this series with a great lack of high grade uncirculated coins. This issue matches the average rarity of the many better date S-Mint coins in this series. PCGS #: 8519 NGC ID: 28DM
