Liberty Half Eagles
1878 $5 MS65 PCGS. Breen-6703, Repunched Date. Repunching of the first 8 in the date is plainly visible within the lower loop. Overall, the 1878 half eagle is scarce in Mint State and a major rarity at the Gem level. Only a dozen coins have been graded MS65 or finer by PCGS and NGC combined (10/16). This piece displays sharp detail and frosty yellow-gold mint luster. Faint grazes in the obverse fields are all that prevent an even finer grade. Population: 5 in 65, 2 finer (10/16).
