1909-S 25C MS66 Certification #08545959, PCGS #5656

CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

A beautiful and high quality example of the 1909-S with pastel toning enhanced by peripheral highlights of bright orange. We firmly believe that the published PCGS population of 15 examples at the MS66 level has been inflated by resubmissions. This is certainly the type of coin that one might be tempted to resubmit to the grading services.
