Description

1847 Liberty Head Half Eagle. Breen-6570. Repunched Date. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.

A fully original example with warm orange-olive color and plenty of mint luster. According to Walter Breen (1988), this variety is sometimes referred to "7 over smaller 7," although the author believes that the same date logotype was used, the initial date partially effaced. The present example shows bold remnants of the 7 underdigit at the top of the primary digit when examined with a loupe. Definitely an intriguing variety.

PCGS# 8231. NGC ID: 25TL.

From the Fairmont Collection - Kronen Set.
