Losbeschreibung

A light mark in the left obverse field otherwise MS63. This date is found weakly struck more often than nearly any other Dahlonega half eagle. Even the top graded examples shows slightly below average strike to some other D-mint dates in the half eagle series. Just the same, that this is such an appealing coin, and much sharper than average, we feel that attention should be given to this factor in determining its value. The surfaces are far above average as well, with plenty of frost and some uneven toning. The color is greenish to yellow-gold. Pop 1; 1 in 62; 1 in 63.(PCGS # 8248) </B>. <BR>Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
