- 1858-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC. With plenty of billowy mint frost 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 at the assigned grade level. The color is attractively original in deep honey-apricot, 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. This premium quality Fairmont Collection specimen in AU is a significant condition rarity fit for the finest collection. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 6; 19 finer, just one of which is Mint State (MS-61). CAC Population: 2; 5 (AU-58 highest graded with CAC approval). PCGS# 8279. NGC ID: 25VA.
