FROM THE PIEDMONT NUMISMATICS COLLECTION This is the SINGLE FINEST 1886 half eagle graded at PCGS and it is a very pleasing Premium Quality GEM! Boldly struck devices stand out and are surrounded by impressive and unending luster. Wonderful peach and gold toning combine over the very high end, pleasingly clean surfaces to give this awesome $5 Lib a stunning look. With 388,360 struck, this date is plentiful in lower grades. It is a RARE date any finer than MS64; that after 33+ years of operations, PCGS and NGC have graded combined a mere seven coins above MS64! PCGS 1, NGC 1, CAC 1. NONE ARE GRADED FINER! This coin is destined for the #1 set of Liberty Head Half Eagles. If you are working on this challenging series, you know how rare this date is to find. This coin has been off the market since May 2009; a whole decade has gone by making this perhaps a once in a generation opportunity that should not be missed. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $25,000 and for a POP TOP coin like this, it is quite possible that this coin will bring more. Who knows when you will have an opportunity like this again! Cert. Number 4268951 PCGS # 008369
