The long-lasting Coronet collection of gold coins which straddle two decades is a more complicated gathering place. Many collectors are delighted to buy a good illustration of every denomination for a kind group, but some concentrate in a given series or maybe a specific Mint. Other people search for Civil War era coins or coins hit at Southern mints.
A number of the rarer issues in Coronet forms are unfamiliar in Mint State levels, such as the 1867-S Coronet $5 half eagle. It’s from a very low mintage of all 29,000 coins, of which almost all went to trade. The Vast Majority today tier Very Fine to Extremely Fine.
Professional Coin Grading Service has coached two in About Uncirculated 58, among which, this instance — using a green Accredited Acceptance Corp. green decal — realized $22,800 at the market.
