Auction 388 | Lot 2414 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles
1857 $5 MS64 PCGS. One of the very finest graded of this date, and a beautiful coin in every way. Note the quality of the strike, with full and complete curls on Liberty, and each star boasting strong radial lines. Similar on the reverse, where the eagle's claws are complete and even the thigh feathers display bold definition. The surfaces however, are where this coin really shines. A glance at the combined NGC and PCGS Population Reports shows a scant four coins graded this high, with none seen finer of this date. Despite the adequate mintage of 98,180 pieces, these were not saved in quantity at the time of issue, and hence very few Choice coins are known today. We do note a complex scuff below Liberty's eye which extends in a broken line to her nose, and this very shallow event probably kept this coin from a much higher grade. Nevertheless, this is a stunning example for the specialist, and a coin worthy of the finest collection. (PCGS# 8271)

1857 $5 MS63 PCGS. Following a familiar theme, this is a reasonably common date in circulated grades, from a mintage of 98,180 coins, but it is extremely rare in Mint State grades, especially higher on the numerical scale. This is a sharply struck and highly lustrous example with exceptional eye appeal. The surfaces have lovely orange-gold color and frosty luster. Although we have handled a few examples of this date in similar or finer grades, it is hard to imagine any that possess greater beauty. Population: 12 in 63, 3 finer (7/06).

1857 MS 63 NGC. A satiny, fully lustrous example that is draped in lovely reddish-orange patina and is sharply struck in all areas. Some darker coloration, perhaps an alloy stain, is visible within the O in OF. The 1857 is a very scarce P-mint half eagle in strict Mint State condition, but is probably just as important as a No Motto type coin, of which there are precious few select survivors. Population: 6 in 63, none finer (12/98). (PCGS# 8271)

1857 $5 MS64 ICG. The Philadelphia Mint's output of 98,188 Half Eagles in 1857 is generous for the era, but this issue is an underrated condition rarity in grades above the XF level. To the best of our knowledge, the 1857 is unknown as a Gem in today's hobby. NGC has not seen a single coin above MS63, and an MS64 coin is the finest at PCGS (7/02). The present ICG-certified near-Gem easily qualifies for Condition Census standing. The frosty textured, orange-gold surfaces are free of all but a few abrasions, none of which are individually distracting. The strike is razor sharp in all areas, and the eye appeal is expectantly strong for the grade. This is the first Choice BU 1857 Five that we have offered in at least ten years. (PCGS# 8271)

1857 $5 MS63 PCGS. Soft, satiny butter-gold luster illuminates minimally marked surfaces on this Select Mint State 1857 half eagle. The eagle's neck and the hair curls at Liberty's brow show slight softness, but the border stars are well defined. Eye appeal is pleasing. This Philadelphia issue is rarely found in MS63, and only a handful of higher-grade pieces are reported. Population: 15 in 63, 5 finer (2/22).

1857 $5 MS 63 PCGS. The 1857 has the lowest mintage (98,188 pieces) of any P-mint half eagle from the 1851-1857 era. It is little wonder, therefore, that this issue is scarce to rare in all grades, particularly above the Mint State threshold. This is a bright, satiny example with modest reflective tendencies in the fields. The color is a rich, reddish-gold shade and the devices exhibit pinpoint striking definition throughout. It has been nearly two years since we last offered a Mint State 1857 half eagle (in our February 1999 Long Beach Signature Sale), a fact that demonstrates the conditionally rare status of this issue. Population: 13 in 63, with only 1 finer (10/00).
