1847/7 $5 Half Eagle Gold Coin, AU58 NGC. Breen-6570. The top of the 7 is prominently repunched. Not to be confused with the "Top of Extra 7" Guide Book variety, which is Breen-6571. Determined cherrypickers can locate several different repunched date and misplaced date varieties of the 1847. Well struck and partly lustrous with a pleasantly unmarked appearance. This is one of the nicer examples we have seen over the years and seems to be quite undervalued. A genuinely nice specimen that appears fully mint state uncirculated and will please the fussiest Numismatist. Half Eagle gold coins in general seem like such a bargain to us and with just a little investor activity should see some price increases in the years ahead.
