Liberty Half Eagles
1859 $5 AU58 PCGS. This low-mintage issue is rarely encountered in any grade, and most collectors can abandon hopes of obtaining a full Mint State example, as only nine have been certified by PCGS and NGC combined (4/17). The alternative is a near-Mint specimen such as the coin offered here. Although a trace of wear is present, along with scattered marks of little consequence, both sides have virtually full luster with lovely greenish-gold surfaces. Population: 10 in 58 (2 in 58+), 2 finer (4/17).
Ex: New York Signature (Heritage, 2/2014), lot 4670.
