1899 Half Eagle, MS67+
Tied for Finest at PCGS

1899 $5 MS67+ PCGS. CAC. A high mintage of more than 1.7 million pieces makes the 1899 an ideal type coin for many collectors. Five dollar gold specialists assembling a high-grade set will find it virtually impossible to improve on the present coin, which sits atop the PCGS population data and displays CAC endorsement too. The surfaces are incredibly well-preserved and frosty -- with glittering, light-orange surfaces and pinpoint striking details. Luminous surfaces reveal only one or two tiny marks under magnification, wholly insignificant even at this high grade. Population: 5 in 67 (2 in 67+), 0 finer. CAC: 2 in 67, 0 finer (3/23).(Registry values: P1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25YS, PCGS# 8398, Greysheet# 8945)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
