1851 Schultz & Co. 5 Dollar Gold MS K-1 Values
Details
There are approximately a dozen Shultz & Company half eagles in private hands today, many of which are surprisingly well-worn. A single example has been called mint state, and any original, lustrous specimen would qualify for the condition census.
