Seldom Seen 1863 Half Eagle

1863 $5 --Filed Rims--Genuine PCGS. The PCGS number ending in .82 suggests Filed Rims as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has filed rims and has been cleaned. This glossy example has hairlines but only a hint of highpoint wear. Both rims are filed throughout the diameter, and the upper reverse field may have been repaired. Nonetheless, this is a coin that is sure to draw the attention of specialists, as any 1863 half eagle is a rarity; PCGS has graded just 21 examples in total (08/10).

Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”. We believe that it meets the criteria established in Article 344(1), point (2) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC and thus should be exempt from import VAT regardless of the selling price. Any questions or concerns about VAT should be addressed to your accountant or local tax authority.
