- Remarkable About Uncirculated 1865-S Half Eagle 1865-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). A newcomer to the Condition Census for this challenging Civil War era issue, this premium AU 1865-S will impress even the most seasoned Liberty Head gold enthusiasts. It is a wonderfully original coin with deep honey-orange color on both sides, nearly complete mint luster, and striking detail that is sharp in all but a few isolated areas. There are few marks, and none that limit either the technical quality or eye appeal. As with all San Francisco Mint half eagles from the Civil War and Reconstruction eras, the 1865-S is scarce to rare in all grades. Most of the 27,612 coins struck were lost to heavy commercial use. Fewer than 100 are known, and most are well worn and/or impaired. This remarkably well preserved and visually appealing AU-53 would be difficult to improve upon. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 6; 11 finer, just two of which are Mint State (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 8299. NGC ID: 25VX.
