Description

Vibrant 1854 Five Dollar, MS64

1854 $5 MS64 NGC. The certified population of 1854 half eagles reveals that the average grade of surviving coins is in the Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated range. Mint State pieces through the MS62 level can be located with patience and searching, while Select and near-Gem specimens are elusive. No Gems have been graded by either NGC or PCGS.
Vibrant luster exudes from the yellow-gold surfaces of this lovely near-Gem, and an attentive strike leaves strong definition on the design features, except for minor softness in the eagle's neck plumage and on the arrow feathers. A scattering of a few minuscule marks prevents Gem status. Census: 6 in 64, 0 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P5)
