Description

High Quality 1847 Half Eagle

1847 $5 MS64 PCGS. A dazzling, heavily striated Mint State example with average or better sharpness in the centers. A cluster of field marks can be seen to the right of the portrait and a few abrasions are also noted on Liberty's cheek. There is an interesting die crack down much of the portrait, piercing the left serif of the 7 and into the border to the right of 6 o'clock. The 1847 is one of the more commonly encountered dates from the 1840s, even in Uncirculated condition, but near-Gems are elusive and their difficulty as a No Motto type coin far outweighs the scarcity of this particular issue. Population: 3 in 64, 3 finer (12/04).(#8231) (Registry values: P5)
