1874 $5 MS62 NGC. An elusive coin in all grades, we have only handled one other similarly graded 1874 Half Eagle in recent memory: the example that appeared, first, as lot 2269 in our September 2002 Long Beach Bullet Auction and then again as lot 8619 in our January 2003 FUN Signature Sale. A distinct representative, this coin is most easily identifiable by a few staccato-like abrasions in the upper obverse field between stars 7 and 8. Boldly, if not sharp struck throughout, both sides are free of wear with a lovely golden-rose sheen. With the exception of the aforementioned pedigree markers, the surfaces are remarkably free of singularly noteworthy blemishes for the assigned grade. A prooflike survivor from a paltry original mintage of 3,508 pieces. Population: 2 in 62, 0 finer (11/02). Important notice: We expect to be auctioning lots at the rate of 200-250 per hour. Sometimes eBay Premier live bid software cannot keep up with that pace, so we strongly recommend that you place a realistic proxy bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Also please note that all Heritage/CAA lots purchased through eBay Premier carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions.
