详细说明

Very attractive, deep orange-gold coloration graces both sides of this highly lustrous, CHOICE 1878 half eagle. Though not rare in lower Mint State grades, MS64 and higher grades are decidedly difficult to find from this original mintage of 131,720. Some minor contact marks can be seen, but none in the prime focal areas of the design. Sharply struck with full definition on both sides. An interesting variety with doubling on the first 8, though neither grading service recognize this variety. PCGS 13, NGC 13. This coin has been off the market since April 2011 when it sold for $4,025. The last two non-CAC PCGS-graded coins sold for $3,290 (April 2015) and $3,525 (2014 ANA). The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,000. RARE any finer with only 17 graded higher, and we suspect, based on auction records that there is some duplication in the population figures. A good coin for the collector of $5 Libs. Good luck! Cert. Number 19006531 PCGS # 8345
