General Notes: Very few 1929 Half Eagles are known to exist with most Mint State examples coming in under MS63. Gems or any high quality pieces are very hard to come across for this late gold issue. Watch out for bag marks for the 1929 but otherwise this coin comes very well struck and has delightful eye appeal all around.
