- 1871-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). Handsome golden-honey surfaces offer impressive originality and a smooth appearance in a lightly circulated early 1870s San Francisco Mint half eagle. It is boldly defined in most areas with appreciable luster on both sides. Survivors of the 1871-S mintage rarely come this nice, and the present bidding opportunity is unlikely to be repeated anytime soon. Only 25,000 examples were struck, and as with virtually every San Francisco Mint gold issue of the era, most saw heavy commercial duty and VF and Choice VF are the grades most often seen. Any finer and condition rarity combines with absolute scarcity for the 1871-S half eagle. If you have an interest in the present piece you should bid liberally, as it will most assuredly be some time before a comparable specimen comes up for public auction. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 8; 11 finer, just three of which are Mint State (MS-63+ finest). PCGS# 8324. NGC ID: 25WE.
