Liberty Half Eagles
1860 $5 AU58 NGC. The 1860 is among the more affordable half eagles of the period, although it is scarce and underrated as such. Uncirculated pieces are decidedly rare, and near-Mint coins are infrequently seen. This example of the latter grade displays sharp design elements and bright, satiny surfaces. Scattered abrasions are not unusual for pre-Civil War gold pieces. Census: 25 in 58, 7 finer (4/17).
