1851 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58+ (PCGS). CAC.Here is an attractive Choice About Uncirculated example of this underappreciated No Motto Liberty Head half eagle. Frosty deep honey-rose surfaces are boldly to sharply struck in most areas with a very smooth appearance. At first glance, the 1851 half eagle should be common given its substantial mintage of 377,505 pieces. As a workhorse denomination, the coins entered commerce, escaping numismatic notice at a time when collectors were not interested in circulation strikes. Most surviving examples are in the middle to higher circulated grade levels, but seldom approach Mint State. Half eagle enthusiasts would do well to take notice, as this is a vastly underrated and often overlooked issue, especially in the finest AU grades, as here. A hidden treasure in superior preservation.PCGS# 8246. NGC ID: 25U5.From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
