Lot 2124
1852 $5 Liberty. NGC graded MS-64. High in the condition census for the date, this magnificent early half eagle will entice the advanced collector with its lovely mint bloom, fresh luster and sharp strike. We note minor low areas in the fields which are a striking phenomenon, and they are seen on most coins of the period. Liberty's face is quite fresh, and no distracting marks are seen there, or anywhere else for that matter. NGC has graded just 6 coins this high, with 2 graded higher (both MS-66, same coin?). Similar at PCGS, where 8 have been graded as MS-64, but none higher there. Simply stunning quality, and worth a strong bid if you expect to capture this prize.
Estimated Value $12,000-UP.
