<B>1825/1 $5 MS61 NGC.</B></I> Ex: Reed. Breen-6483, BD-1, High R.5. David Akers, in his <I>United States Gold Coins: An Analysis of Auction Records,</B></I> places the number of extant 1825/1 half eagles at between 35 and 40 pieces, and are mostly in XF or AU grades. A total of 20 coins have, to date, been graded by NGC and PCGS.<BR> This MS61 specimen displays a blend of yellow-gold and apricot-gold color with decent luster. A powerful strike manifests itself in sharp definition on the design elements, that are well centered on the planchet. The surfaces exhibit prooflike tendencies, especially when the piece is rotated under a light source. Some wispy hairlines in the reverse fields are mentioned for accuracy. Census: 4 in 61, 3 finer (11/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
