1911 Half Eagle, MS66
A Top-Graded Survivor
The Finest We Have Offered

1911 $5 MS66 NGC. From a production standpoint, there was never anything much to suggest that the 1911 half eagle would become a condition rarity. The Mint struck 915,000 pieces, and examples are available by the thousands through Choice Uncirculated condition. However, the population declines rapidly at the Gem grade level, and NGC and PCGS have only certified two MS66 submissions each with none finer (9/19).

This important Premium Gem exhibits pinpoint strike detail on the headdress and eagle. Warm yellow-gold surfaces awash in soft mint luster display a minimal number of inconsequential ticks. This lot should generate considerable interest as the single finest example Heritage Auctions has presented over the past quarter century.(Registry values: N7079)
