Impressive MS67 1908 Liberty Half Eagle

1908 $5 MS67 PCGS. The 1908 Liberty half eagles mark the last appearance of a Christian Gobrecht design on circulating American coinage, and the year's production of five dollar coins was split between this and the novel Pratt design. Still, well over 400,000 Liberty pieces were struck, though survivors so fine as this magnificent Superb Gem are few indeed. Strong canary-yellow luster takes on sun-gold attributes at certain angles, and the sharply struck devices and smooth fields are equally frosty. A singly tiny mark is noted on the tip of the bust. Tied with seven others for the finest certified by PCGS (4/10).(Registry values: N4719)
