详细说明

Sharply struck with rich, orange-gold toning that is brought out by an impressive mint frost. There are some light old ticks from circulation, but even under close inspection, we note only the slightest hint of friction keeps this coin from a mint state grade. PCGS 10, NGC 40. A very under rated date, as are many Philadelphia mint $5s from the 1840s. David Akers noted that "this date is available only in VF or EF condition." The most recent PCGS coin to sell brought $2,000 in the weak 2016 FUN auction. Before that, one sold in 2011 for $2,530. It is especially telling that Ed Milas, who formed one of the all-time greatest collection of No Motto half eagles, only had a MS61. Cert. Number 81735339 PCGS # 8240
