Description
Popular 1899 Half Eagle, MS65
1899 $5 MS65 NGC. A precisely struck Liberty gold type coin that exhibits sweeping luster. The rich khaki-gold toning is deepest at the margins. The fields display faint grazes, but no marks merit individual mention. Few numismatists collected contemporary gold coins at the turn of the previous century, but they were saved as bullion reserves by overseas banks. These foreign holdings gradually returned across the Atlantic to America as they demanded increasing numismatic premiums beginning in the 1960s.(Registry values: P1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25YS, PCGS# 8398, GSID# 8945)
