Description

1877-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS).

Warm honey-gold patina blankets both sides, the surfaces also revealing subtle pale rose undertones as the coin rotates under a light. Well defined overall with considerable sharpness to the major design elements. Myriad tiny surface marks are seen on each side, none singularly mentionable. The final low mintage San Francisco Mint issue in the Liberty Head half eagle series, the 1877-S was produced to the extent of just 26,700 pieces. There are few survivors, and with most grading VF or lower, this premium quality Choice EF represents a significant find for the advanced gold specialist.

PCGS# 8344. NGC ID: 25X3.
