Nearly Unsurpassable 1895 Half Eagle, MS 66 PCGS

1895 $5 MS 66 PCGS. A Condition Census example, the surfaces are as smooth as we have ever seen on an 1895 half eagle. Both sides are also free of bothersome alloy spots, and the strike is needle sharp over all features. This frosty, orange-gold example would make an attractive addition to any gold collection that goes beyond the normal pale. Population: 3 in 66, with a lone MS 67 specimen finer (12/00).
From the Helyn Van Huffel Collection.
