1812 Half Eagle PCGS MS65
Half Eagles 1812 Breen-6465. Close 5D. PCGS graded Mint State 65. <b>Brilliant yellow-gold luster, rich and frosty, a coin that it is abundantly clear is in spectacular condition. Not one in a hundred mint state capped bust left half eagles retains this coin's premium look. From the center to the edge, from the open spaces around the devices to the very pinnacle points on those devices, there is golden frost. What's equally important is that the coin boasts a splendid strike. Bidders, collectors, connoisseurs, delight in seeing any classic period half eagle which is well struck and well preserved. Whether it is this coin's deeply impressed stars or its full sharp cap, drapery and clasp, the whole obverse is bold. Put a magnifying glass to Liberty's hair curls and you'll be presented with utter perfection. After you are through examining the obverse, turn to the reverse. Here you will marvel at the sharp detail in the eagle and shield. The shield, for those who've never seen one in its full splendor, has a double margin along its left side. The eagle's claws come to sharp needle-like points. As well, the rims consist of small dentils or denticles.</b> <p align="center">Superior Galleries was founded in 1929 and has been a leader in
