1877-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS).Rich honey-gold color with a tinge of warm rose 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 AU ranks among the finer certified and would serve with distinction in an advanced gold cabinet.PCGS# 8344. NGC ID: 25X3.PCGS Population: 11; 20 finer, 4 of which are Mint State (MS-64 finest).From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
