Lustrous 1892 Half Eagle, Gem Mint State

1892 $5 MS65 NGC. Garrett and Guth (2006) aptly describe this date: "Although the 1892 half eagle is usually thought of as common, high-grade examples are actually quite scarce. Fewer than 100 coins have been certified as choice Uncirculated." Since they wrote that the population has increased somewhat, but their sentiments are still true. Gem and finer examples are particularly elusive. Splendid satiny luster radiates beneath the yellow-gold patina that covers both sides. The surfaces have only a few light grazes, and the strike is razor-sharp. This resplendent Gem has outstanding eye appeal.(Registry values: P2)
