HERE IS ANOTHER OF MY REALLY OLD GOLD COINS. THIS ONE WAS MINTED BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR STARTED BACK IN 1859 IN PHILLY. ITS A VERY HARD TO FIND COIN AS IN ALL OF THE YEARS THAT PCGS HAS BEEN GRADING COINS THEY HAVE ONLY GRADED 4 OF THEM IN ANY MS CONDITION. ONLY 4 COINS GRADED IN 62 AND 63 IS LIKE NONE AT ALL. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE GRADED ABOUT 100 OF THESE IN A HIGHER CONDITION THAN THE PRESENT COIN I AM PARTING WITH. THIS COIN DOESNT EVEN HAVE THE LOTTO ON ITS REVERSE. ITS AN EAGLE MEANING THAT ITS GOT ABOUT A HALF OF AN OUNCE OF GOLD IN IT BUT ITS GOT MUCH MORE NUMISMATIC VALUE THAN ITS GOLD CONTENT.

THIS IS A VERY FINE 25 GRADED COIN AS PER PCGS GOLD SHIELD GRADING METHOD. ITS WAS IN CIRCULATION BUT THE COIN ISNT DAMAGED AT ALL. ITS GOT A SINGLE TICK THAT I CAN FIND WITH MY LOOP. ITS NOT A BAD ONE EITHER. THIS COIN JUST SERVED ITS PURPOSE - IT WAS IN CIRCULATION AND IT DIDNT GET ANY BAD MARKS ON IT. ITS AN AMAZINGLY SMOOTH AND TAP FREE VF GRADED 1/2 OUNCE GOLD COIN.
