1910 Mint Error. Die Adjustment Strike. NGC.
Choice AU details to our eyes. This richly lustrous honey-blonde Indian half eagle tells a tale of Mint press set-up procedures. This specimen is from a state wherein the right side of the obverse from 2 to 6 o’clock and correspondingly on the reverse at noon to 4 o’clock is smooth and all but devoid of design elements where the pressure had not been corrected. After examination of this specimen it was no doubt back to the gauges and pressure checks, adjusting and readjusting until the final product was satisfactory for coinage requirements. We can’t help but wonder how many other die set-up pieces are known and what their physical state could be. Possibly unique outside the Mint, and extremely rare at worst. A neat “error” Indian half eagle for an advanced specialist.
