- 1870 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55+ (PCGS). CAC. Vivid pinkish-rose iridescence blends with dominant honey-gold color on both sides of this richly original example. Boldly if not sharply struck in all areas with ample semi-prooflike finish. Produced during an era when gold coins did not actively circulate in the Eastern and Midwestern United States, the Philadelphia Mint's circulation strike half eagle issue of 1870 posted a mintage of just 4,000 coins. As an upper end Choice AU with CAC approval, the Fairmont-Hendricks specimen offered here is scarce in an absolute sense and rare from a condition standpoint. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 6; 10 finer, three of which are Mint State (all MS-61). CAC Population: 2; 2. PCGS# 8319. NGC ID: 25W9.
