Lot Title:	1929 UNC details/cleaned
Lot Number:	316
Description:	J.R. Collection. The mint produced 662-thousand half-eagles in 1929, the final year of production, but unlike the quarter-eagle of like date, almost none of the fives were released to circulation as most were melted down. This accounts for their rarity and value, along with, of course, collector demand. The obverse of this example appears to retain significant original mint luster, while the reverse may be a bit bright and overly cleaned, to the point of being almost reflective overall. An unimpaired UNC example should go for at least thirty-thousand dollars, and the market will determine just how high the present example will go even with the cataloger's "cleaned" disclaimer.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
