Classic Half Eagles
1838 $5 MS62 NGC. Breen-6515, McCloskey 2-B, R.1. Small Arrows, Large 5. The letters TES of STATES are widely spaced. The surfaces are satin-smooth and appealing, with only small marks that determine the designated MS62 grade. A sharp strike with soft mint luster beneath mellow-gold color completes the considerable eye appeal. Mint State examples are scarce of this brief type, especially when problem-free such as this example. Census (both varieties): 26 in 62, 24 finer (10/16).
