Description

1859 Half Eagle, MS62
Gold CAC, Older Holder
Among Finest Known

1859 $5 MS62 NGC. Gold CAC. A low mintage of 16,734 pieces makes the 1859 elusive in any grade, but Mint State examples are unquestionably rare. This nicely struck yellow-gold representative is probably the finest known, given its gold CAC seal, prior generation holder, and the absence of any examples certified finer by either major service. Minor field hairlines above the beak merit only passing mention. Census: 5 in 62, none finer (2/15).
