Description

1853 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC.
Glints of reddish-rose iridescence enliven otherwise golden-apricot surfaces. Both sides are fully lustrous with a satin to softly frosted finish from the dies. Boldly to sharply struck, as well, and supremely attractive. Although plentiful in worn condition, the 1853 is similar to other Philadelphia Mint half eagles of the era in that it develops into a significant condition rarity in Mint State. This upper end MS-64 example qualifies as Condition Census and would be just right for a high grade date set or advanced type collection.
PCGS# 8253. NGC ID: 25UD.
PCGS Population: 1; 4 finer (MS-66 finest). CAC Population: 3; 1.
