Description

Low-Mintage 1889 Half Eagle, MS64

1889 $5 MS64 NGC. A seldom offered Philadelphia Half Eagle, one of just 7,520 business strikes. Scarce in all grades, with the better Uncirculated grades being very rare. Indeed, NGC and PCGS combined have seen only one piece finer (7/08). Over the past five years, only one MS64 has been offered in a public sale and just five pieces with higher grades. This Near Gem displays brassy-gold patina. The design elements are sharply struck with no hints of weakness, and the surfaces exhibit radiant luster. A few minute marks are scattered over each side, but none are worthy of individual mention.(Registry values: P3)
