- Condition Rarity 1851 Half Eagle 1851 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. Here is an attractive and seldom offered Choice Uncirculated example of this underappreciated No Motto Liberty Head half eagle. Frosty golden-rose surfaces are boldly to sharply struck in most areas with a very smooth appearance. At first glance, the 1851 half eagle should be common given its substantial mintage of 377,505 pieces. As a workhorse denomination, the coins entered commerce, escaping numismatic notice at a time when collectors were not interested in circulation strikes. Most surviving examples are in the higher circulated grade levels, and only seldom in Mint State. Half eagle enthusiasts would do well to take notice, as this is a vastly underrated and often overlooked issue, especially in the finer Uncirculated grades, as here. A hidden treasure in superior preservation. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 12; 5 finer (MS-65 finest). CAC Population: 5; 0. PCGS# 8246. NGC ID: 25U5.
