Liberty Half Eagles
1899 $5 MS65 PCGS. This sharp Gem displays semiprooflike fields that showcase frosty yellow-gold luster on the devices. A lack of major abrasions delivers exceptional visual appeal. The 1899 half eagle is occasionally available in this grade, but semiprooflike coins are scarce, and any higher-grade pieces are rare. PCGS reports only two dozen numerically finer 1899 fives (3/17).
