1877-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Rich pinkish-honey color reflects the originality of this handsome piece. Nearly full, the luster offers attractive satin to softly frosted texture and the strike is pleasingly sharp. The 1877-S is the final low mintage San Francisco Mint issue in the Liberty Head five-dollar series, with a production of just 26,700 pieces. With most examples lost to circulation and the typical survivor well worn or impaired, this appealing and problem-free Choice AU ranks among the finest certified and would serve with distinction in even the finest gold cabinet. From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set.
