Owner's Description

The 1886 half eagle is a sleeper in the series. Although considered a fairly common date, there are only six coins graded higher than MS64. The current example is orange gold with light “tangerine” toning on soft satin surfaces. The strike is very strong and marks are minimal for the grade. Housed in an old green holder. DLRC 8/06: 932.
