1901 Half Eagle, MS66
Early 20th Century Type Coin

1901 $5 MS66 NGC. The 1901 half eagle is readily obtainable in grades through MS64, but its availability declines significantly at the Gem level, and finer pieces are rare. This Premium Gem example exhibits vibrant yellow-gold luster and sharply struck motifs. A few insignificant ticks in the fields preclude an even finer grade, but hardly inhibit the eye appeal. Census: 31 in 66 (2 in 66+), 8 finer (12/25).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25YW, PCGS# 8402, Greysheet# 8947)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 8.36 grams
AGW: 0.27oz
Mintage: 615,900
