1895 Half Eagle, MS67+
The Sole Finest at PCGS

1895 $5 MS67+ PCGS. Any Liberty half eagle is a rarity in Superb Gem condition. Most dates are unknown this fine, and only a few late 19th century coins are generally collectible in this condition. The 1895 Philadelphia coin is a plentiful issue with a mintage of more than 1.3 million pieces, which results in the survival of a handful of coins in the coveted top grade levels. PCGS and NGC combined list seven pieces in MS67. Of those, PCGS and NGC each report a single Plus-designated piece. The current example is thus the sole finest 1895 half eagle at PCGS and tied with one other for finest overall (11/23). Well-struck motifs complement frosty peach-gold mint luster, while the surfaces are devoid of bothersome abrasions or spots. Eye appeal easily equals the technical quality. Population: 3 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer (11/23).(Registry values: P2)
