- 1859 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (NGC). OH.
A sharply defined, near-fully lustrous example with lovely orange-gold patina throughout. The 1859 is a grossly underrated No Motto Liberty Head half eagle in all grades, especially in AU and Mint State preservation. The mintage of 16,734 pieces is similar to that of many of the more highly regarded mintmarked half eagles of the era, but the 1859 is actually more elusive in today's market. Clearly, this attractive and conditionally rare survivor represents a significant find for advanced gold collectors.
Provenance: From the Steve Studer Collection.
NGC Census: 14; 7 finer (MS-62 finest).
PCGS# 8280. NGC ID: 25VB.
