Liberty Half Eagles
1854 $5 Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, MS61 NGC. The so-called "Earring" variety features broad doubling on Liberty's ear and the hair curl just above it. Examples command a small premium from those who collect by Cherrypickers' Guide varieties. This brightly lustrous yellow-gold No Motto half eagle exhibits a pinpoint strike with softness limited to the fletchings and claws. Scattered marks are more minor in nature than on most survivors. Census: 3 in 61, 1 finer (8/17).
