- Lustrous and Original Near-Mint 1858-S Half Eagle CAC Pop: 3/0 1858-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. With nearly full satin luster and impressively smooth surfaces, it is difficult for us to imagine a more attractive and desirable example of this conditionally challenged early San Francisco Mint issue. The color is attractively original in honey-rose, and the strike is razor sharp to full throughout the design. The 1858-S tells a familiar story for an 1850s San Francisco Mint half eagle. Few examples were produced -- in this case just 18,600 pieces -- the vast majority of which were consumed by commercial use long ago. Even an original and problem free EF would be a significant find in today's market. At the threshold of Mint State preservation the premium quality Fairmont-Hendricks specimen is a significant condition rarity fit for the finest collection. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 8; 2 finer, one of which is Mint State (MS-61). CAC Population: 3; 0. PCGS# 8279. NGC ID: 25VA.
