- 1871 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). Blended deep olive and honey-rose patina greets the viewer from both sides of this overall boldly defined example. The 1871 issue continues a trend of low mintage circulation strike half eagles from the Philadelphia Mint that began early in the Civil War. In this particular case only 3,200 coins were struck. With fewer than 100 examples known, the 1871 is similar in overall rarity to the other early Motto issues of the late 1860s and early 1870s. This very well preserved specimen is vastly superior to the typically encountered example, usually seen in VF or EF. PCGS Population: 6; 15 finer, just seven of which are Mint State (MS-61 finest). PCGS# 8322. NGC ID: 25WC. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
