- 1858 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS).
Original deep honey-orange surfaces are lustrous with most design elements boldly rendered. One of only 15,136 Philadelphia Mint half eagles of the date produced. The 1858 inaugurates a run of low mintage fives from the parent mint that continues through 1860, and market appearances are usually few and far between. Prior to 2020, we last offered a circulation strike 1858 half eagle in 2013, while the intervening seven years saw several examples of the 1858-C, 1858-D and 1858-S pass through our sales. Clearly this is an underrated issue relative to the more highly regarded mintmarked issues of its era, the Fairmont specimen offered here representing a significant bidding opportunity for the astute gold collector.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.
PCGS# 8276. NGC ID: 25V7.
