Description

Near-Gem 1847/7 Half Eagle
Extra 7 at Border

1847/7 $5 MS64 NGC. FS-301. Several prominent date-punch errors exist for the high-mintage 1847 half eagle issue, though only one, the FS-301 with the top of an errant 7 just above the denticles, is listed in the Guide Book. On this Choice Mint State representative, the top of the 7 is partly broken-down but still visible to the unaided eye. Aside from the excitement of the variety, this is a quality pre-Civil War Liberty half eagle, sharply struck with blossoming yellow-gold luster and few individually significant marks outside the left obverse field. For the variety, Census: 5 in 64, 1 finer (1/12).(Registry values: P6)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25TL, PCGS# 8232, Greysheet# 8984)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
