1838 $5 Classic Head. PCGS graded MS-62. Well struck with rich golden sunset toning. This Classic Head Half Eagle has plenty of eye-appeal. The surfaces ring from shimmering satin to hard golden frost, creating a lustrous and well preserved mid-level coin. Far in advance of most, this 1838 No Motto was also struck with systematic exactness including (not excepting) the usual weak areas in the center such as the hair curls as well as the outlying districts like the stars and letters in the legends. In other words, a very presentable coin! Pop 16; 40 finer (PCGS # 8176) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
