Lot Description

First of the "Jackson gold" half eagle issues, and this is a lovely Choice About Uncirculated coin to represent the Classic Head design in a gold type set. The surfaces are boldly colored with plenty of soft satin luster remaining. Sharp strike detail to the focal points further confirms the fleeting opportunity that this coin represents for astute type collector focused on the certified AU grades.
