Classic Half Eagles
1838 $5 MS62 PCGS. Breen-6514, McCloskey 1-A, R.2. The 1838 is one of the scarcer Philadelphia issues in the short-lived Classic Head half eagle series, particularly elusive in Mint State. This piece displays bold detail and satiny yellow-gold luster. Grade-limiting abrasions are surprisingly low-impact, giving the coin better-than-average visual merit for the MS62 level. Population: 14 in 62, 45 finer (2/17).
