1870 Liberty Head Half Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS).Vivid honey-rose color blankets both sides of this richly original example. Boldly if not sharply struck in all areas with ample semi-prooflike finish. Produced during an era when gold coins did not actively circulate in the East and Midwest, the Philadelphia Mints circulation strike half eagle issue of 1870 posted a mintage of just 4,000 coins. As an attractive Choice EF, the Fairmont Collection specimen offered here is scarce in an absolute sense and very scarce from a condition standpoint.PCGS# 8319. NGC ID: 25W9.PCGS Population: 11; 30 finer, 3 of which are Mint State (all MS-61).From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
