Lot Description

BD Die State d/b. Sharply struck with strong satin to softly frosted luster, this lovely Mint State half eagle is a particularly nice representative of a popular first-year issue in the early gold series. Bathed in rich honey-gold color with a tinge of pale apricot, the surfaces are remarkably smooth and well composed for the assigned grade. In fact, we note only minimal signs of numismatic handling and related muting of the luster precluding a higher Mint State rating. Highly attractive and sure to sell for a solid bid.
