1867 $5 MS (PCGS#8313)

Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1867 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58+ (PCGS). CAC. The offered 1867 half eagle is an absolute and condition rarity from the early Motto Liberty Head half eagle series. Sharply defined with handsome deep honey-orange color, both sides also show abundant satin to semi-reflective luster. Produced in nearly identical numbers (6,870 vs. 6,700 circulation strikes), the 1867 is equally as elusive as the 1866. Fewer than 100 survivors are known, most of which are in grades such as Fine or VF. Even the specimen in the Smithsonian Institution's National Numismatic Collection has been graded EF-45 by gold experts Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2008). With only a handful of Uncirculated coins certified, this solidly graded and visually appealing near-Mint example would serve as a highlight in any advanced gold cabinet. No Mint State examples have been approved by CAC. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 2; 7 finer (MS-64 finest). CAC Population: 1; 0. PCGS# 8313. NGC ID: 25W3.
