Liberty Half Eagles
1879-S $5 MS63+ PCGS. Frosty orange-gold luster illuminates sharp motifs on this conditionally scarce 1879-S half eagle. Scattered light abrasions limit the grade. Finer examples are rarely offered, and the 1879-S is underrated even in this grade. Population: 30 in 63 (1 in 63+), 11 finer (11/16).
