详细说明: Significant 1862 Half Eagle Rarity 1862 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. An outstanding rarity that is sure to excite advanced collectors specializing in Liberty Head gold coinage. This is a beautiful Choice AU half eagle with vivid rose-honey color on predominantly lustrous surfaces. The texture is soft and frosty, and the strike is sharp throughout. It is difficult for us to imagine a more appealing Choice About Uncirculated survivor of this key date half eagle. The suspension of gold specie payments by Eastern banks in December 1861 resulted in an immediate reduction in half eagle output at the Philadelphia Mint. Whereas the facility delivered a record (for the era) total of 688,084 circulation strikes in 1861, the mintage for the 1862 is just 4,430 pieces. The 1862 is a highly elusive issue with PCGS CoinFactsestimating that fewer than 100 coins are extant in all grades. Particularly rare in Mint State, the significance of this superior quality and highly attractive AU-55 with CAC approval cannot be overstated. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
