A very pleasing near-Mint State example of this important Dahlonega mint half eagle. The 20,583 examples produced were struck from a single pair of dies. Today, HM-1 is considered to be Rarity-3, with about 200 known in all grades today. This is a wonderfully lustrous example with deep, pleasing orange-gold that is enlivened by a partial reflective, semi-Prooflike finish. There are some minor lines and tiny marks seen with the aid of a strong glass, but they have minimal impact on the visual allure. Housed in an old green tag holder. PCGS 25, NGC 22. It has been over five years since one sold in auction and before that one sold in 2016, the one before that sold back in 2007! The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $32,500. VERY RARE any finer, there are just a dozen graded higher in all grades at PCGS and RARELY appear in auction. Good luck! Cert. Number 2617005 PCGS # 8178
