Lovely 1892 Liberty Half Eagle, MS67

1892 $5 MS67 NGC. A stunning Superb Gem of the finest available quality. Splendid pink-gold surfaces have a lemon-yellow border that is confined to the extreme obverse and reverse rims. The design elements are uniformly bold, and the frosty surfaces sparkle with brilliant luster. A few minuscule surface marks are expected but trivial. The collector seeking the finest would do well to consider the present opportunity, only the fifth different Superb Gem 1892 half eagle in our sales over the last 16 years.
Although usually considered a common date, the 1892 ranks among many condition rarities in the Liberty half eagle series. For all grades, circulated and Mint State, NGC and PCGS have certified over 2,300 examples with an average grade of just 61.4. Both firms together have graded 16 coins in MS67, a figure that undoubtedly includes several resubmissions. Census: 14 in 67, none finer (6/09).
