A marvelous CHOICE Mint State early Liberty Head five. A strong mint brilliance billows boldly on both sides radiating with a strong cartwheel luster. Sharply struck devices stand out against the generally smooth surfaces. The obverse shows some interesting die cracks from extensive use. While over half a million half eagles were struck, this date is incredibly RARE finer than the MS63+ offered here. PCGS 2, NGC 0. The most recent example sold in October 2022 for $6,500 and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $8,500. The PCGS Price Guide value jumps to $15,000 in MS64. The sole finest is a PCGS MS66+ CAC that we sold in October 2019 for $123,275. The present coin is worthy of a great set of No Motto fives. Good luck. Cert. Number 41789800 PCGS # 8250
