- 1866-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. Motto. VF-30 (PCGS). CAC. Attractively original surfaces are bathed in a warm blend of deep honey and warm rose colors. The major design elements are boldly rendered, the S mintmark clear and fully appreciable to the unaided eye. Both sides are uncommonly smooth for a circulated survivor of this challenging San Francisco Mint gold issue. A mere 34,920 coins were struck for this historic Liberty Head half eagle issue, the first from the West Coast facility with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST on a scroll in the upper reverse field. Thanks to the rigors of commercial use, only a tiny number survive today; PCGS CoinFactsaccounts for fewer than 100 in all grades. The Fairmont Collection specimen in this lot is far finer than the typically encountered VF (and even many EFs). A rare bidding opportunity for the astute half eagle collector. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set. CAC Population: 13 in all grades. To view all items From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set click here. PCGS# 8312. NGC ID: 25W2.
