<B>1852 $5 MS64 NGC.</B></I> The 1852 half eagle is surprisingly scarce in the higher Mint State grades for an issue that saw an emission of considerably more than half a million pieces. According to the Garrett-Guth <I>Gold Encyclopedia, </B></I>the average grade of certified survivors is "AU54." NGC and PCGS combined have certified 30 pieces in MS64, with only three coins finer (12/07). <BR> For this particular coin, however, average grades and typical survivors bear little meaning, as it is an absolutely <I>stunning </B></I>high-end piece for the grade. Thick mint luster exudes from both sides, with rich sunset-orange and hazel-gray patina on the obverse and more consistent orange tones on the reverse. The strike is bold, if a trifle short of full, but this remains a nonetheless-spectacular piece worthy of some strong bidding. Census: 15 in 64, 3 finer (12/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
