1852 Half Eagle, MS64
Tied for Finest at PCGS

1852 $5 MS64 PCGS. No Motto Liberty half eagles are rarely seen in grades finer than MS63. Even the most plentiful dates are elusive in higher grades. The 1852 is a prime example with a mintage that exceeded a half million coins, but with only 23 examples certified MS64 at NGC and PCGS, and with only three finer NGC coins. The average certified grade for this issue is less than AU55. This Choice Mint State specimen is boldly defined with nearly full star and hair detail on the obverse and only slight weakness on the claws and arrow feathers on the reverse. Both sides have brilliant yellow luster with frosty mint surfaces and exceptional eye appeal. Population: 11 in 64 (1 in 64+), 0 finer (9/13).(Registry values: P4)

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

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
