Description
1854 FS-101 Half Eagle, MS61
Doubled Die Obverse
1854 $5 Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, MS61 PCGS. CAC. Perhaps
the first mention of this interesting variety was lot 441 in the
November 2000 Bowers and Merena catalog for Part IV of the Harry W.
Bass, Jr. Collection. The variety was described as from a "die with
'earring' at Liberty's ear lobe, no doubt a centering mark." This
is a charming peach-gold example that exhibits vibrant luster
throughout the borders. The well struck surfaces lack any
mentionable marks. Population: 2 in 61, 3 finer (11/16).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25UG, Variety PCGS# 145713, Base PCGS# 8256, Greysheet# 199174)
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 8.36 grams
AGW: 0.27oz
