Auction 358 | Lot 8432 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles
1885-S $5 MS67 PCGS. For the numismatic student, the opportunity to examine such a high grade example of this or any issue is a treat. The obverse die is very well made and in an excellent state, with only a short and faint die crack from star 6 to the leading edge of the coronet. There are no other visible die cracks, die lines, or other die flaws of any sort. Walter Breen described two different obverse types for this issue, which he called Open 5 and Closed 5 depending on whether the knob of the 5 touches the cusp or is free of it. This example has a short line that actually joins these two parts of this digit. The date is not sunk as deeply in the die as the stars or bust, yet we don't believe the Open 5 characteristic is due to a light impression of the logotype. It actually appears to be a different logotype punch. The reverse appears to be from a perfect die and this is probably a very early representative from that die. Diagonal striae is visible across much of the surface, suggesting a very early die state. This striae would have worn away and eventually be completely gone after a number of strikes. Slight doubling among the letters of UNITED is a result of the strike. This is an outstanding example with fully brilliant luster. Both sides are fully brilliant and exhibit frosty yellow gold luster. This is the finest example certified by PCGS, and the only such coin. This is a connoisseur's dream. Population: 1 in 67, 0 finer (10/04). (PCGS# 8368)

1885-S $5 MS67 NGC. For the numismatic student, the opportunity to examine such a high grade example of this or any issue is a treat. The luster is thick and rich in the fields, and close examination will find only the faintest signs of handling. The strike is fairly sharp, with just a couple of obverse stars not quite full to their very centers, but the central devices of Liberty and the eagle have complete definition. Walter Breen described two different obverse types for this issue, which he called Open 5 and Closed 5 depending on whether the knob of the 5 touches the cusp or is free of it. This example has a short line that actually joins these two parts of this digit. The date is not sunk as deeply in the die as the stars or bust, yet we don't believe the Open 5 characteristic is due to a light impression of the logotype. It actually appears to be a different logotype punch. The reverse appears to be from a perfect die and this is probably a very early representative from that die. Slight doubling among the letters of UNITED is a result of the strike. This is an outstanding example with bright, coruscant luster. Both sides are lightly patinated and fully original. This is tied with two others at NGC as the finest example thus far certified (1/05). Truly a connoisseur's dream. (PCGS# 8368)

1885-S $5 MS66★ NGC. The 1885-S is a common date half eagle from the 1880s that enjoys constant demand from type collectors. One reason it is so popular is the bright mint luster that is uniformly seen on this issue. This particular coin is a particularly good example, with bright, vibrant mint luster that shows just a hint of orange coloration. The striking definition is strong throughout but lacks absolute highpoint definition to qualify for full strike designation. An exceptionally attractive and appealing coin and the only MS66★ graded by NGC with two MS67s certified (5/05). (PCGS# 8368)

1885-S $5 MS65 PCGS. Extraordinary condition for this "common" coin. The scintillating, radiant surfaces offer delectable lemon-yellow color with near-pristine, unabraded fields and devices. Couple this with a full strike that shows no mentionable deficiencies, and the present enticing, strictly Gem specimen is the result. PCGS has graded only three examples finer (1/06). (PCGS# 8368)
