1870 $5 MS (PCGS#8319)

Winter 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1870 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). Vivid honey-orange color blankets both sides of this richly original example. Boldly if not sharply struck in all areas with ample semi-prooflike finish. Produced during an era when gold coins did not actively circulate in the Eastern and Midwestern United States, the Philadelphia Mint's circulation strike half eagle issue of 1870 posted a mintage of just 4,000 coins. As an attractive AU, the Fairmont Collection specimen offered here is scarce in an absolute sense and rare from a condition standpoint. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 7; 23 finer, just three of which are Mint State (all MS-61). PCGS# 8319. NGC ID: 25W9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
