Owner's Description

Blazing cartwheel luster emanates from this late no motto example. The strike is sharply detailed throughout and the texture is frosted. The obverse has very distinct die polish lines in evidence. The underlying color is a green gold which is covered by rich rose-gold toning. This variety of the 1860 half eagle has an interesting “punch” on the earlobe that gives the appearance of an earring. Perhaps mint personnel were trying to dress up Miss Liberty. This is an absolutely beautiful example of an 1860's half eagle. Heritage 1/13: 7216.
