- 1874 Liberty Head Half Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. Lovely reddish-rose highlights enliven a base of rich khaki-gold patina. Both sides are boldly defined overall with appreciable evidence of a semi-prooflike finish discernible as the surfaces dip into a light. After an unusually generous mintage of 224,895 coins in 1873, circulation strike half eagle production at the Philadelphia Mint returned to pre-1873 standards with a mintage of just 3,488 pieces. Survivors are few and far between and most grade EF or low end AU, as here. An attractive coin from the Fairmont Collection that will certainly appeal to advanced students of the challenging Liberty Head half eagle series. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8333. NGC ID: 25WN. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
