1853 Half Eagle, MS63
Fantastic Appeal, Finer Pieces are Rare

1853 $5 MS63 PCGS. A bold strike and minimal abrasions facilitate frosty, coruscating luster in delivering exceptional cartwheel bands and eye appeal on this Select Uncirculated five dollar gold piece. Vibrant orange-gold surfaces reveal a small line in front of the eagle's beak and only one minor graze on the bottom right side of Liberty's neck, otherwise this piece is free of noticeable imperfections. The issue has availability in circulated grades, yet becomes noticeably scarce in Mint State, and PCGS and NGC combined reflect only eight finer than this exceptional half eagle (3/25). Population: 11 in 63 (1 in 63+), 5 finer (3/25).(Registry values: P4)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25UD, PCGS# 8253, Greysheet# 8899)
