I feel fortunate to have found a very pretty 1842 LL half eagle! Very very few of these exist in a condition that looks very nice yet reasonably priced compared to high grade examples. I have looked for this for a number of years!

    Nice coin, very low survival numbers and reasonable price. Those aren’t easy to find especially nice ones.
