Description

Satiny Near-Gem 1891 Half Eagle

1891 $5 MS64 NGC. The certified population of this P-mint half eagle drops off rapidly as one approaches the Gem grade level. A just-miss example, the surfaces are still uncommonly clean for the issue. The golden-rose color accents the unimpaired luster quality. Powerfully impressed with fully defined features, a thin pinscratch is noted across Liberty's neck into the obverse field. Census: 12 in 64, 1 finer (1/06).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25Y4, PCGS# 8377, Greysheet# 8937)

Weight: 8.36 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
