1847 $5 Gold Liberty
<Our item number 71920><B>1847 &#36;5 Gold Liberty.</B> <B>NGC graded MS-64.</B> <B>Breen-6567, Normal Date</B>. Original light yellow gold surfaces with soft satiny luster that engulfs both obverse and reverse. Sharply struck on the devices and stars. Beautiful uninterrupted luster across the cheek. While the 1847 half eagle is the most common half eagle of the 1840&#39;s, it is not found with any frequency above MS-61. The present coin is an amazing Condition Census example of this &#34;No Motto&#34; half eagle. A notable opportunity to acquire this near-gem beaty! <BR>Most collectors would be hard-pressed to locate a nice and original MS63 example. For instance, Harry Bass, Jr. had three high grade 1847 half eagles in his collection, none grading higher than MS-63 at that time. The finest known is the Pittman-Farouk-Col. Green Specimen that David Akers described in his presentation of the John Jay Pittman Collection in 1997.<B> Population 6 with none higher at NGC.</B><BR><I>Identified by a small scratch from the star 6 to star 7. There is a die break running from the denticle, in between star 3 and 4 and continuing to star 5. The reverse displays a die break that extends from the denticle in between the ES of STATES, continuing vertically down across the eagle&#39;s left wing to the talon holding the arrows at which point it splits, one part going down to the denticle to the right side of D and the other the left side of F of FIVE.</I> <B>&#40;PCGS # 8231&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;10,000-11,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 71920<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/32jpegs/071920.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/32jpegs/071920N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> <BR><DIV ALIGN="CENTER"> <TABLE> <TR> <TD><IMG SRC="http://216.67.248.213/liveauction/ilgebaylogo.JPG"></TD> <TD> 350 South Beverly Drive Suite 350<BR> Beverly Hills, CA 90212, USA<BR> Telephone: 310-551-2646<BR> Fax: 310-551-2626<BR> E-Mail: <A HREF="mailto:glenn@goldbergcoins.com"> info@goldbergcoins.com </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <font color=red> <h3>There is a 20% commission charge added to each and every lot.</h3></font> <P>We are one of the country's premier auction houses, specializing in U.S., World and Ancient Coins and Currency; Autographs; Manuscripts; Rare Books and other Fine Collectibles.
