1887 GOLD HALF-SOVEREIGN MS 66
NGC 2601713-002

Glorious example of this common coin, common in AU and baggy UNC, but this piece is amazing.
Fully struck with gorgeous luster over satiny surfaces, and best of all deep iridescent gold color,
creating elegant eye appeal.
NGC: Pop 5 with none grading higher.
