Liberty Half Eagles
1865-S $5 -- Cleaning -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. Because double eagles were the preferred gold denomination for bankers and importers, half eagles were struck in limited number at San Francisco prior to 1879. The 1865-S mintage was 27,612 pieces, and none were saved by numismatists until the 20th century. The present inoffensively cleaned peach-gold example is well defined and lacks distracting marks.
