Liberty Half Eagles
1870-S $5 AU53 PCGS. The 1870-S half eagle is scarce in all grades -- most estimates agree that fewer than 100 pieces are likely extant; none are reported in Mint State. The 17,000-coin mintage circulated extensively, and today AU coins are rare and represent the finest pieces available. This coin is well-detailed with glimpses of prooflike reflectivity in the protected regions of the fields. Original orange-gold surfaces yield hints of deeper rose in the recesses. A few scattered marks are consistent with the grade. Population: 5 in 53, 14 finer (9/17).
