1841 Liberty Half Eagle, MS65+
Registry Grade Example

1841 $5 MS65+ NGC. From a meager business-strike mintage of 15,833 pieces, the 1841 Liberty half eagle is a scarce issue in all grades. Walter Breen reported the rumor of a small hoard that surfaced in 1953, which might explain the survival of a few outstanding examples, like the present coin. This Plus-graded Gem is among the finest certified examples at either of the leading grading services, as NGC has graded only two coins in MS65, this one in 65+ and another in 65★ , with none finer, while PCGS has certified no examples finer than MS64 (10/21). Razor-sharp definition is evident on all design elements of this remarkable specimen and the virtually flawless orange-gold surfaces radiate satiny mint luster from both sides. Eye appeal is terrific.(Registry values: P6)
