Liberty Half Eagles
1865-S $5 AU58 NGC. Uncirculated 1865-S half eagles are extremely rare, although high-end AU coins are not much more common. The surviving population in all grades is far lower than a mintage of 27,612 pieces would typically produce, estimated at less than 100 coins. This rare near-Mint example displays partly lustrous bronze-gold surfaces with light chatter in the fields. The motifs are bold, showing only light high-point friction. Census: 9 in 58, 5 finer (12/16).
