- 1878 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC. Exquisite surfaces are exceptionally vivid in a blend of reddish-gold, pinkish-rose and powder blue colors. Both sides are fully lustrous with a sharp strike and in hand appearance that is smooth enough to evoke thoughts of a full Gem Uncirculated grade. Circulation strike half eagle production in the Philadelphia Mint soared to 131,720 pieces in 1878 in anticipation of the return of parity between gold and paper currency set by the federal government for January 1, 1879. Thanks to its relatively generous mintage, this issue is among the most obtainable from its era in lower Mint State grades. Few grade finer than MS-63, however, and among the handful of finer pieces precious few are as technically sound and attractive as this awe-inspiring near-Gem. PCGS Population: 11; 9 finer (MS-66 finest). CAC Population: 6; 2. The former total includes coins graded both MS-64 and MS-64+, by both PCGS and NGC. PCGS# 8345. NGC ID: 25X4.
