NGC 1850 Moffat & Co. Five-Dollar MS 63. K-7a, R.4. Noticeably different from the K-7 variety with its larger eagle, this piece shows the large die break listed in Kagin below the OL in DOL. The fine-grain, pimply surfaces on this coin suggest it was struck from rusted dies. Bright, satiny luster gives the coin a "life" missing from almost all other Moffat half eagles we have seen. Softly struck in the centers, as always. This is one of the finest pieces known, and according to the May and April population data from PCGS and NGC, this is the only MS 63 certified with only 2 pieces finer (a gem certified at each service).
