- 1859 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55+ (PCGS). CAC.
This smartly impressed, overall sharply defined example retains considerable detail. Both sides are evenly toned in appealing light rose-gold patina. The 1859 is a grossly underrated No Motto Liberty half eagle in all grades, especially in Choice AU and Mint State preservation. The mintage of 16,734 pieces is similar to that of many of the more highly regarded mintmarked half eagles of the era, but the 1859 is actually more elusive in today's market. Clearly, this attractive and rare survivor represents an important find for gold collectors.
PCGS# 8280. NGC ID: 25VB.
