- 1878-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC.
Pretty rose-gold patina mingles with modestly semi-reflective luster on both sides of this sharp and inviting example. The anticipated resumption of gold specie payment on January 1, 1879, resulted in a marked increase in half eagle production at the San Francisco Mint in 1878, in which year the facility produced 144,700 examples. Attrition through circulation continued to remain high for these 1870s gold issues from the West Coast coinage facility, however, with the 1878-S scarce to rare in all Mint State grades.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection.
PCGS# 8347. NGC ID: 25X6.
