Description

Highly Elusive 1864 Five Dollar, AU55 NGC

1864 $5 AU55 NGC. The 1864 Half Eagle, despite a similar and impressively low mintage figure (4,170 business strikes), is not quite on the same rarity scale as the 1862. Nevertheless, it is very scarce in any grade, particularly so in AU condition where only a handful exist. This coin's sharp strike along with natural reddish and orange patina can be counted as attributes, while scuffiness on the surfaces tends to hold back the satiny luster. Population: 10 in 55, 6 finer (9/04).(#8296) (Registry values: P7)
