详细说明: 1862 Liberty Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). OGH. This satiny and lustrous honey-gold half eagle exhibits frosted motifs and reflective fields in those areas where circulation hasn't affected the surface. A hint of deeper gold and rose toning graces both sides. Marks are at a minimum to the unassisted eye, and low magnification fails to yield a mark worthy of comment. Just 4,430 examples of this elusive Civil War date were struck, with the present coin a likely candidate for <em>Condition Census </em>honors -- PCGS has certified just four coins finer than the present piece, with only two of those able to claim Mint State status. The PCGS website notes that perhaps fewer than 100 examples of the date can be accounted for today in all grades, yielding another insight into the rarity of the date. The present offering affords advanced half eagle collectors a solid shot at a known rarity, or type specialists an opportunity to add a rare date to their collection. Either way, someone will walk away completely satisfied with the newest addition to their collection.
