Republic gold "Double Shaft" 1/2 Pond 1892 MS64 PCGS, Berlin mint, KM9.1, Fr-3, Hern-Z38. Easily exceeding the eye-appeal of the typical near-Gem, with dazzling surfaces that hold almost no marks and couple couple faint hairlines from handling that remain essentially invisible until the surfaces are studied closely with magnification. In addition to the exceptional appearance of the surfaces, a full strike and alluring tone further contribute to the choice appearance. An absolute candidate for potential upgrade to the MS65 grade, and thus, a coin that merits significant attention.
Estimate: 4000-6000 USD
