Lot 2251
1847 $5 Gold Liberty. NGC graded MS-63. Breen-6567 Normal Date. Surfaces have a richer gold color than the preceding lot. Superb luster and strike detail. A small die crack exists from the border just past star 6 to the tip of the coronet. Another from border, through star 3 and midway into field. A flashy and impressive example of this No Motto half eagle. Once again, a rarity in this condition even though the 1847 is a common date in lower grades. NGC has graded 23 in MS-63 with 4 higher, all in MS-64.
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,000.
