Lot 1766
Gem 1873 Half Eagle, One of the Finest Known. NGC graded MS-65. We are proud to present one of the two Finest graded 1873 Closed 3 Half Eagles. NGC has awarded this gem grade to exactly 2 coins, PCGS hasn't graded any above Mint State 64. This is likely the Finest of the date in existence, tied with a single other coin. The fields are bright with abundant luster; the strike is a touch weak on Liberty's upper curls and similar on the eagle's neck. Another condition rarity for the date collector. A glass notes a few trivial handling marks, but nothing that knocks this coin from the gem class. Be sure to view this before the sale so you can raise your bid accordingly.
