$8,400 PR63BN 02-25-2021 Heritage Auctions
Description
A copper-nickel rendering of the half eagle design, J-1340 tests the base-metal alloy at the $5 denomination for the final time. The silvery copper-nickel composition gives the Liberty Head half eagle an appearance that evokes silver rather than gold coinage, creating an interesting visual transformation of America's oldest gold denomination.
Rarity Notes
R-6 to R-7. Approximately 10-15 examples estimated.
