Liberty Half Eagles
1897 $5 MS65+ NGC. CAC. This is a frosty Gem example of the conditionally elusive 1897 Philadelphia Mint half eagle, showing luminous orange-gold surfaces and sharp design elements. A few faint grazes are visible, none out of line for the grade. Finer examples are extremely rare. CAC: 12 in 65, 2 finer (1/17).
