- 1878 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). Frosty rose-gold surfaces are sharply struck and visually appealing. Circulation strike half eagle coinage at the Philadelphia Mint increased dramatically in 1878 in anticipation of the government mandate that gold coins would be exchangeable at par with paper money on January 1, 1879. This event, which the market actually anticipated on December 17, 1878, when it received parity on its own, would allow gold coins to once again circulate in the East and Midwest. Although nowhere near as rare as the low mintage Philadelphia Mint issues of the Civil War and Reconstruction eras, the 1878 is still scarce in Mint State relative to most later dates in this series. PCGS# 8345. NGC ID: 25X4. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
