Liberty Half Eagles
1902 $5 MS65+ PCGS. Engaging luster and a full strike are hallmarks of this Gem 1902 half eagle. A few trivial ticks appear in the obverse fields and within the shield stripes on the reverse, but they fail to defeat the broad eye appeal. Despite a mintage of 172,400 circulation strikes, this issue becomes elusive in finer grades. Population: 24 in 65 (1 in 65+), 9 finer (1/17).
