Amazing MS64 1853 Five Dollar

1853 $5 MS64 NGC. As noted by Garrett and Guth in their Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins, for the 1853 half eagle issue, though circulated coins are fairly common, "Mint State examples are scarce, and most of the coins are in the lower grade ranges, usually MS-61 or MS-62. Choice examples are seldom seen or offered for sale."
This sharply struck near-Gem offers a rare opportunity for the interested collector. Each side is warmly lustrous with rich butter-yellow color and a touch of orange patina near the rims. Though a few wispy marks on each side preclude a finer designation, the eye appeal is excellent. Census: 8 in 64, 1 finer (3/09).
