- Premium Near-Mint 1869 $5 Gold Tied for Finest Certified at PCGS 1869 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. With nearly full striking detail and faint traces of semi-prooflike reflectivity in the fields, this 1869 half eagle is an exceptionally well preserved example of an issue that is elusive even in lower grades. Vivid deep honey-orange color blankets both sides and enhances already strong eye appeal. With only 1,760 pieces produced, the 1869 has one of the lowest circulation strike mintages in the entire Liberty Head half eagle series. This issue is similar in absolute rarity to the 1866, 1867 and 1868, there being fewer than 100 coins extant. The 1869 is rarer in Mint State, however, with only three Uncirculated coins certified (all at NGC, the finest of which are graded MS-64 * and MS-64 PL). One of numerous significant bidding opportunities for advanced half eagle collectors from this special Fairmont-JBR offering. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 6; 0 finer at this service. CAC Population: 2; 0. PCGS# 8317. NGC ID: 25W7. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
