Owner's Description

This coin is totally original with superb rose and medium orange-gold hues atop exceedingly lustrous surfaces that have never been cleaned, dipped or toyed with. There are a few minor marks in the upper left obverse field and a very shallow scrape below stars four through six that does not detract. Most gold coins from this era in MS61 holders are marginal quality at best; this piece is extremely high end and it is all the more remarkable considering how low-end the typical 1859-S half eagle is.
