Incredible originality on this small star reverse 1799 half eagle. Hard to imagine how this 200+ year old early US gold half eagle has remained so free of the imperfections prevelent on so many of these issues.

Terrific early half eagle pedigreed to the famous Bass Collection. We have personally seen coins that their holders suggested they were finer by 2 points clearly not as nice as this wonderful specimen.

Is it cabinet friction that keeps this wonderful early half eagle from grading higher? We think it's a close call. Very P.Q. and quite reasonably priced for this beauty.

Mint state 1804 and a wisp away from choice. You will not find another 1804 half eagle as nice as this specimen unless the holder says MS-63 and even then, the comparisons will be close.

Small "D" variety, which is confirmed by the mintmark D being positioned over the V in FIVE. This specimen is the 10-G variety which is shown by the D mintmark centered over the VE of FIVE.

Gem 63 +++. Oh so close to MS-64. Certainly if you cover the grade on the holder we think more people would assign a 64 grade to this specimen. Rare. Combined population of 0/0 + 2/1 respectively. Trends 15K.

Really neat color on this Civil War date half eagle. Very tough date with combined population of 3/1 + 6/3 respectively. AU50 Trends = $15,000.

Old holder uncirculated and off the market for quite a while, therefore qualifying this premium quality 75-S as "fresh" half eagle.

A nice old gold coin from the American West which probably been involved in some interesting commerce in its day considering its nice honest wear!

Lovely and rare Carson City gold half eagle. In lower grades this date is considered almost common however in uncirculated grades, and particulary choice uncirculated this date is rare. Tied finest graded both services with pops at 5/0 + 6/0.
