Description

1864 $5 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NCS. AU Details. An important Civil War era issue, the 1864 half eagle saw a total production of only 4,170 coins, and few survive today. This example, while showing clear signs of cleaning, and numerous trivial surface marks, retains pleasing orange-gold surfaces and traces of luster at the periphery.
