- 1874 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-53+ (PCGS). CAC. An important About Uncirculated 1874 half eagle, an issue that is elusive even in well worn condition. This lustrous, frosty example exhibits sharp striking detail throughout the design. Modest semi-prooflike in the fields and highly attractive. Originally preserved, with even deep honey-orange color. After an unusually generous mintage of 224,895 coins in 1873, circulation strike half eagle production at the Philadelphia Mint returned to pre-1873 standards with a mintage of just 3,488 pieces. Survivors are few and far between and, as can be surmised by the foregoing, most are circulated in grades such as EF or low end AU. Few are as attractively and originally preserved as this present offering from the Fairmont Collection. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. CAC Population: 7 in all AU grades; 5 in all Mint State grades. PCGS# 8333. NGC ID: 25WN. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
