Elusive Choice AU 1871 Half Eagle 1871 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Deep, rich, rose-honey color blankets both sides of this original example. Plenty of frosty to modestly semi-reflective luster remains, the striking detail is universally crisp, and there is no significant wear. The 1871 issue continues a trend of low mintage circulation strike half eagles from the Philadelphia Mint that began early in the Civil War; in this particular case only 3,200 coins were struck. With fewer than 100 examples known, the 1871 is similar in overall rarity to the other early Motto issues of the late 1860s and early 1870s. This very well preserved specimen is vastly superior to the typically encountered example, usually seen in VF or EF. Among CAC-verified coins, none are graded finer than AU-58. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 9; 7 finer (MS-61 finest). CAC Population: 5; 0. PCGS# 8322. NGC ID: 25WC. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
