- 1869-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (NGC). An impressive condition rarity that represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the advanced Liberty Head half eagle collector. Sharply defined in most areas with faint traces of satin luster to light gold surfaces. Simply put, this is a scarce issue in an absolute sense that is rare in grades above EF. Extensive commercial use claimed most of the 31,000 half eagles struck in the San Francisco Mint during 1869, and most of the few survivors are well worn if not also impaired. Mint State examples are all but unknown, this significant Choice AU representing the finest in quality realistically obtainable for most collectors. Provenance: From the Blue Ridge Mountains Portfolio. NGC Census: 12; 3 finer (MS-62 finest). PCGS# 8318. NGC ID: 25W8. Click here for certification details from NGC.
