Original $4500 Rare Philadelphia Date, Brilliant Steely-Frosted Luster, Near-Choice Original, White Pine Collection. The 1860 Philadelphia gold half eagle date sports a mintage of only 19,763 and is considered to be rare in all grades. This White Pine release presents a satiny obverse glow under a bright light Tilting the coin slightly shifts the luster into the lightly mirrored realm, a playful transition. Reverse cartwheels are particularly notable and sharply reflective. Coloration is a rose green-gold, an infrequently seen pigmentation. Strike is complete with hints of rub on the highest points and in the fields. The overall originality is readily apparent though a well hidden line is seen adjacent to stars 12 and 13. Housed in PCGS Gen 5.0 (2015) holder.
