1891 Half Eagle, MS65★ Deep Prooflike
Stunning Top-Tier Example

1891 $5 MS65★ Deep Prooflike NGC. There are just four MS65-graded 1891 half eagles in the NGC Census Report, as of (7/10). Three are graded simply as MS65, while this Gem offers something extra: Deep Prooflike mirrors, which form only part of the eye appeal of this Star-designated coin. More than just a flashy coin, it offers enduring reflectivity from lemon-gold fields that offer subtle green overtones. The devices are sharp, and the broad high areas remain relatively smooth. A few grazes in the fields, most visibly below the eagle's left (facing) wing, are minor in context but ultimately grade-defining.(Registry values: P3)
