- Rarely Offered Mint State 1866 Half Eagle Popular First Year Motto Issue 1866 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). An exciting offering for the specialist, this coin represents one of only five Mint State grading events for the issue at PCGS. Vivid reddish-rose iridescence enhances deep honey-gold color, the combination of the two providing an attractive and undeniably original appearance. The luster is full and frosty, and the strike is boldly to sharply executed. The Philadelphia Mint's first Liberty Head half eagle with Motto, the 1866 is a leading rarity in its series. The mintage is just 6,700 circulation strikes, the lowest production figure of any of the three half eagles of the date. Indeed, the 1866 is rare and elusive in all grades with fewer than 100 examples extant per PCGS CoinFacts. Just a handful of Mint State pieces survive, and market offerings are usually separated by many years, if not decades. A significant opportunity from the Hendricks Set that deserves undivided bidder attention. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 2; 3 finer (MS-62+ finest). PCGS# 8311. NGC ID: 25VZ. Click here for certification details from PCGS. Click here to see Coins in Motion.[“Coins]
