- 1851 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-53+ (PCGS). CAC.
This attractive About Uncirculated example has frosty deep honey-rose surfaces are boldly to sharply struck in most areas with a very smooth appearance. Despite a substantial mintage of 377,505 pieces, the coins entered commerce, escaping numismatic notice at a time when collectors were not interested in circulation strikes. Most surviving examples are in the middle to higher circulated grade levels, but seldom approach Mint State. Half eagle enthusiasts would do well to take notice, as this is a vastly underrated and often overlooked issue, especially in the finer AU grades, as here. A hidden treasure in superior preservation.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.
PCGS# 8246. NGC ID: 25U5.
