- 1866-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. Motto. VF-25 (PCGS). CAC.
This delightful piece is boldly defined overall with pale flint gray highlights to dominant golden-honey patina. Glints of original luster remain, as well, further enhancing this coin's appeal. A mere 34,920 coins were struck for this historic Liberty Head half eagle issue, the first from the West Coast facility with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on a scroll in the upper reverse field. Thanks to the rigors of commercial use, only a tiny number survive today, the experts at PCGS CoinFactsaccounting for fewer than 100 survivors in all grades. The Fairmont specimen offered here is far finer than the typically encountered VF (or even low end EF) in numismatic circles. A rare and fleeting bidding opportunity for the astute half eagle collector.
PCGS# 8312. NGC ID: 25W2.
