Description

Extremely Elusive 1811 Half Eagle, MS64 NGC

1811 $5 Small 5 MS64 NGC. Breen-6464, B. 1-B, Miller-116, High R.3. Better date type collectors would be wise to take full advantage of the bidding opportunity that this lot represents. As an issue, the 1811 Capped Bust Left is more challenging to locate than the first-year 1807, 1809/8, 1810 Large Date, Large 5, and 1812. Miller-116 is the variety of the 1811 that is most frequently offered, particularly in Mint State. The vast majority of certified Uncirculated survivors, however, grade no finer than MS63. An obviously important near-Gem, both sides are richly colored in original medium gold color that yields to noticeable green-gold undertones at various angles. The texture is softly frosted with only some light grazes on the obverse precluding an MS65 rating. Sharply detailed from a powerful, expertly centered impression, some counterclockwise die rotation is noted. Population: 5 in 64, 5 finer, however some of these are likely resubmissions (9/04).(#8109) (Registry values: P2)
