Here is a MS 1881 half eagle being sold by the same company that Kentucky listed for $50 more than the quarter eagle, but it has $160 more gold in it.&nbsp; It is certified, Mint State and the same grade as the quarter eagle, and almost 20 years older.&nbsp; A 19th century coin instead of a 20th century one.</p><p><a href="https://www.moderncoinmart.com/1881-liberty-head-5-gold-half-eagles-pcgs-ms62-sku54980.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.moderncoinmart.com/1881-liberty-head-5-gold-half-eagles-pcgs-ms62-sku54980.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.moderncoinmart.com/1881-liberty-head-5-gold-half-eagles-pcgs-ms62-sku54980.html</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
