1845-O Liberty Gold Half Eagle ($5)

Housed in an NGC holder with a green CAC sticker, this example shows wholesome, original skin with rich greenish-gold color. The wear is even and honest, with pleasing definition for the date and traces of luster clinging in the protected recesses and around the legends. Simple honest wear caps the grade, while the "+" and CAC approval are in-line with the coin's terrific eye appeal.
