- Exciting Choice AU 1870-S Half Eagle Unknown in Mint State 1870-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Among the leading highlights of this current offering of Fairmont Collection half eagles, this is a significant Choice AU survivor of an issue that is unknown in Uncirculated. Frosty to modestly semi-reflective luster is very much in evidence, and the surfaces display universally sharp to full striking detail and just trivial rub. Pretty orange-honey color blankets both sides and provides strong eye appeal. Here we go again - a mintage of just 17,000 pieces, combined with heavy commercial use beginning in Reconstruction era California, created an absolute and condition rarity in the 1870-S half eagle. Fewer than 100 coins are extant (per PCGS CoinFacts), and most are not choice. This remarkable AU-55 is among the finest certified at PCGS and one of the nicest examples of the issue that we have offered in more than a decade. A significant bidding opportunity worthy of undivided attention. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set. PCGS Population: 16; 4 finer (all AU-58). There are also no Mint State examples listed at NGC. CAC Population: 5; 2. To view all items From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set click here. PCGS# 8321. NGC ID: 25WB.
