(C. 1900) 'Restrike' 1860 Mormon Half Eagle Uniface Obverse Impression in Copper MS64 Brown NGC. K-8. Plain Edge. Called Brown by NGC, but there is still much evidence of original red. The surfaces show an interesting rim-to-rim die break from 12:30 to 8 o'clock, and there is a small dark splotch at 8:00. This is the famous Lion & Beehive design with the reclining lion only on this obverse, 1860 below, and "Holiness to the Lord" in the Deseret Alphabet at the top. The lion represents the Lion of Judah, and this die is the first use of the newly instituted (but not long lasting) Deseret Alphabet. A Rarity-7 'restrike' with only one other certified, an MS64 Red and Brown, as well as two pieces that are impounded. Grade: 64, Service: NGC, Service No.: 10262, Issue Date: MORMON, Denomination: $5, Variety: 1849
