|
1881 PCGS MS-61.
|
|
Delicate flash in the fields offers a reminder that coins struck earlier off these same dies probably were semi-prooflike. This example does seem a touch better than MS-61 at first blush despite a... |

1881 PCGS MS-63.
|
|
Mike Wrinkle Collection. Delicate peppermint-blue patina touches the high points of the design elements and adds plenty of original eye-appeal. Just the usual small bagmarks identify the grade. |

1881 PCGS MS-61 (green label).
|

Surfaces are infused with rich, royal-gold tone and appear to be fully original. Some doubling of the design elements is very noticeable on the reverse, particularly at UNITED STATES O, FIVE, and at... |

1881 PCGS MS-64.
|
|
A great strike, satin-fresh texture and distraction-free surfaces are all wrapped up nicely in MS-64 quality. The obverse rim features the lovely "halo" effect that many astute collectors seek out in... |

1881, 1886-S, and 1898-S NGC MS-62.
|
|
A trio of gold half-eagles in NGC EdgeView holders, graded MS-62. 1881 is just on the cusp of earning a "prooflike" designation, with readily visible cameo contrast that is diminished only by ticks... |
|
| 845 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $2,200.00 |
|
1881, 1895, and 1900, all PCGS MS-63.
|
|
PCGS has assigned an MS-63 grade to each gold half-eagle in this trio, and it must be admitted that all are only average for that grade. Dates include 1881, 1895 and 1900, but in each case, the coin... |

|
1881 NGC MS-62.
|
|
Extremely subtle iron-gold patina provides a bit of a change from the ordinary, although 1881 is a common date in the series no matter what. Detail quality is only average, as the stars are not fully... |

|
1881 NGC MS-60.
|
|
Celebrate the moment as a third-party grading service, in this case NGC, makes judicious use of the sadly neglected MS-60 grade. "Select uncirculated" takes into account considerable abrasion of the... |

1881 MS-60.

1881, 1895, and 1904. NGC MS-61.
|

Consecutive decades are represented by this trio of Coronet gold half-eagles, all graded MS-61 by NGC. 1888 is well abraded but is bathed in russet-gold tone, 1895 is a little less abraded but also... |

|
1881, 1895 and 1899 NGC MS-63.
|
|
A trio of attractive half-eagles, all graded MS-63 by NGC. Dates included 1881, 1895 and 1899, the middle coin being somewhat semi-prooflike. Three coin lot. |

|
1881 and 1908 half-eagles, PCGS MS-62
|
|
Both of these coins are in older green-label PCGS holders and identically graded MS-62. The 1881 lacks a bit of highpoint detail due to a nonchalant strike, while the 1908 is a little better struck. ... |

1881 Coronet half-eagle, PCGS MS-63

Unusual, frosty grey-gold color accents the peripheral areas, framing the primary devices in stylish fashion. A premium quality appearance is augmented by strong luster, and impaired only by a small... |

1881 NGC MS-63.

1881 NGC MS-63.

An iridescent olive hugs the peripheries of this enticing golden orange specimen. For ascription purposes, there's a light sprinkling of surface ticks on this boldly struck date. |

1881/0 ANACS AU-50.
|
|
This coin, holdered as Breen 6714, faces up nicely, and the luster is pleasing for an AU-50. The underdigit is clear. A very appealing coin for the assigned grade, and rare as a variety, this $5 gold... |

1881 MS-63.
|
|
Luster is dripping off both the obverse and reverse of this well-struck Half Eagle. Its color is smooth and bright, and there are no distractions. |
|
| 1099 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006 | $650.00 |
|
1881 NGC MS-63.
|
|
Frosty and way too gorgeous to be in an MS-63 holder in my opinion. Large portions of the surfaces appear void of any marks. This coin would definitely be a bargain anywhere close to MS-63 money. |
