- 1865-S Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). Rich khaki-gold patina with enhancing glints of pinkish-rose evident as the surfaces rotate under a light. Boldly to sharply defined, traces of original luster further confirm the validity of the desirable AU grade from PCGS. The 1865-S two-and-a-half is one of many Civil War era gold issues from the San Francisco Mint that suffered a high rate of attrition through circulation on the West Coast. Most survivors -- and they are scarce in an absolute sense -- are well worn, and many are also impaired from being roughly handled over the years. Attractive and problem-free About Uncirculated coins such as this are rare and represent a fleeting bidding opportunity whenever they appear at auction. Provenance: From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired from Harry J. Forman, date not recorded. Earlier from Kreisberg & Cohen's Windsor Collection sale, November 1981, lot 337. PCGS Population: 10; 23 finer, just eight of which are Mint State (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 7802. NGC ID: 25K6. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
