1845 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS).A sharply struck and richly original example with full mint frost throughout. Dominant medium gold color with blushes of olive and orange also very much in evidence. The 1845 is one of the highest mintage half eagles from the 1840s with 417,099 circulation strikes produced. Worn survivors are plentiful by the standards of the early No Motto Liberty Head series, although in Mint State the 1845 is surprisingly rare. It is truly remarkable, therefore, that the present example not only survived in Mint State, but that it did so with such original, attractive surfaces.PCGS# 8223. NGC ID: 25TB.From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
