Liberty Half Eagles
1880 $5 MS65+ PCGS. Mint records indicate production of half eagles increased tremendously at the Philadelphia Mint in 1880, to more than 3.1 million pieces, but the issue is still rare at the MS65 grade level. This Plus-graded Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements and lustrous peach-gold surfaces, with vibrant mint luster and outstanding eye appeal. Population: 22 in 65 (2 in 65+), 3 finer (12/16).
