Liberty Half Eagles
1881 $5 MS66 PCGS. The availability of the 1881 Liberty half eagle declines sharply in MS65, where fewer than 100 coins are certified by PCGS and NGC combined, including possible resubmissions. This Premium Gem is the sole finest example of the date at PCGS. NGC lists 14 Premium Gems and one Superb Gem finer (6/17). We have previously handled an NGC coin in this grade on six occasions, but this is the first time we are offering the lone PCGS example. This piece is fully struck and frosty with original orange-gold and peach luster. A single tiny tick at the tip of Liberty's nose is the only grade-limiting factor. An outstanding Liberty Head type coin.
