- Exciting Choice AU 1870-S Half Eagle Unknown in Mint State 1870-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Among the leading highlights of the Hendricks Set half eagles, this is a phenomenal near-Mint survivor of an issue that is unknown in any Uncirculated grade. Satiny to modestly semi-reflective luster is very much in evidence, and the surfaces display universally sharp to full striking detail and just trivial rub. Pretty pinkish-honey color blankets both sides and provides strong eye appeal. Here we go again -- a mintage of just 17,000 pieces, combined with heavy commercial use beginning in Reconstruction era California, created an absolute and condition rarity in the 1870-S half eagle. Fewer than 100 coins are extant (per PCGS CoinFacts), and most are not choice. This remarkable AU-58 is tied for finest certified at PCGS and is the nicest example of the issue that we have offered in more than a decade. A significant bidding opportunity worthy of undivided attention. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 4; 0 finer. There are also no Mint State examples certified at NGC. CAC Population: 2; 0. PCGS# 8321. NGC ID: 25WB. Click here for certification details from PCGS. Click here to see Coins in Motion.[“Coins]
