Liberty Half Eagles
1857-S $5 AU58 NGC. Well struck for the No Motto type, and attractively toned orange-gold. Traces of verdigris in the recessed areas further confirm the originality. While thousands of 1857-S twenties were recovered from the S.S. Central America, lower denominations such as the half eagle barely appeared within the hoard. This better-date half eagle becomes rare at the Borderline Uncirculated level.
