1844 Five Dollar, MS63
Elusive This Fine

1844 $5 MS63 PCGS. CAC. The 1844 is a fairly plentiful half eagle from this period, although Mint State coins are conditionally scarce, and this Select representative is tied for the finest endorsed by CAC. This is a distinctive die pair, showing the vertical shield lines extending far into the horizontal lines and below the shield border. On the obverse, a couple of short die lines appear in front of Liberty's eye and there is a centering hole on the ear lobe. Original green-gold luster is frosty and shows minimal abrasions for the grade. The strike is sharp.(Registry values: P5)
