Stunning 1852 Half Eagle, MS64

1852 $5 MS64 PCGS. CAC. An absolutely stunning near-Gem, this Choice Mint State piece is tied for the finest that PCGS has ever examined. NGC and PCGS have each certified a total of 26 coins at this grade level, and NGC also records three finer coins. While the mintage of almost 574,000 coins ranks among the highest of the type, most survivors have seen some time in circulation.
We believe that this coin will hold its own in a side-by-side comparison, even if others are graded higher. It is sharply struck with frosty yellow-gold luster and traces of pale pink toning. Population: 12 in 64, 0 finer (2/10).(Registry values: P4)
