Description
Shimmering Gem 1885 Half Eagle
1885 $5 MS65 NGC. Despite a generous mintage of just over 600,000 pieces, the 1885 half eagle emerges as a condition rarity at the Gem level. This NGC-certified MS65 coin has sharp detail, as often seen, but the near-absence of abrasions on its peach-and-yellow surfaces is a welcome surprise. Census: 12 in 65, 1 finer (2/12).(Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25XS, PCGS# 8367, Greysheet# 8932)
Weight: 8.36 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
