Popular MS64 1861 Liberty Half Eagle

1861 $5 MS64 NGC. No Motto Half Eagles are very elusive at the near-Gem level, but here is a lovely example that is fully deserving of such an elevated status. The luster is intense on both sides, and the strike is very close to full on either side. A few contact marks are noted on the obverse portrait, these being the grade-limiting factors. A popular Civil War issue.
