1907 $5 MS67 Certification #44101790, PCGS #8416

CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

Richly frosted canary-gold surfaces and a needle-sharp strike join fulsome mint luster to define this Superb Gem half eagle. Although the 1907 Liberty Head fives are readily available in lesser grades, the date is conditionally rare this fine. PCGS reports just two other examples at the MS67 grade, including one with the Plus designation. No coins are finer at PCGS, while NGC lists one MS67★ and three finer (1/22). A microscopic, curved nick on the neck is seemingly the only mark separating this coin from an even finer grade. Both technical quality and eye appeal are extraordinary. Population: 3 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer (1/22).(Registry values: N4719)
