Description

1852 Half Eagle, MS64
Lovely Eye Appeal

1852 $5 MS64 CACG. The 1852 Liberty Head five dollar gold had a large mintage of 573,901 coins struck, but this coin ranks among the finest graded. Rich yellow-gold toning with olive highlights blanket surfaces that have only a few minuscule blemishes. Interesting small die cracks are found on the left hand stars and the base of the date. Sharply struck with radiant luster, this spectacular coin has lovely eye appeal. PCGS/NGC-graded coins are rare this fine with just three reported finer. CAC has stickered two coins in MS64 and two finer, but the current piece is the sole finest in a CACG holder (8/25).(Registry values: P4)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25UA, PCGS# 8250, Greysheet# 8898)

Weight: 8.36 grams
