1840 Half Eagle, MS63
Rare in Mint State

1840 $5 MS63 PCGS. Narrow Mill. Rich lemon-gold color presides over a pleasing mixture of cartwheel and semi-reflective luster. Very few design elements are imperfectly defined. A number of modest abrasions are scattered over the fields and on the portrait. There are two varieties of 1840 half eagle - Broad Mill, with a wide rim, and Narrow Mill, with a normal rim. This issue is quite rare in full Mint State.
