1857 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58+ (PCGS). CAC. Fully struck in most areas with appreciable reflectivity to an otherwise softly frosted finish. Richly original honey-gold color enhances this coins considerable appeal. While not a great rarity in an absolute sense - the mintage is 98,188 pieces - the 1857 is one in a long line of No Motto Liberty Head half eagles from the Philadelphia Mint that are underrated in the finest circulated and all Mint State grades. A find for advanced gold enthusiasts. PCGS# 8271. NGC ID: 25V2. From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.
