1869 GOLD HALF-SOVEREIGN MS 65, Die # 13.
NGC 6276723-010

A tremendous Gem specimen which displays classically toned golden surfaces and full luster that easily gleams from across the fields. Rather bold in strike with sharp details throughout and visually engaging at every turn, with undeniable eye appeal. Limitedly marked and on the whole quite attractive.

NGC: Single finest.
