1865 $5 MS60 NGC. The Philadelphia Mint produced just 1,295 business strike and 25 proof Half Eagles this year. Breen (1988) states that most survivors grade VF-XF, with AU and Mint State coins being "prohibitively rare." In fact, only five Uncirculated examples are known to the two major grading services, all of which are at NGC, and none of which grade finer than MS61 (1/02). This is a pleasingly prooflike example with glowing fields and essentially complete striking definition. Warm honey-gold color overlays both sides with the usual number of bagmarks for the assigned grade. The 1865 boasts the fourth lowest mintage in the Liberty Half Eagle series, and the sixth lowest mintage of all U.S. Half Eagles. (PCGS# 8298)

1865 $5 AU55 NGC. Struck in the final year of the Civil War, the 1865 five dollar is a very rare coin. Only 1,270 pieces were produced. As if this low mintage is not enough to account for the rarity of the 1865, the Garrett-Guth reference points out that "Gold coins rarely circulated on the East Coast in this time period, and many of the examples produced were melted...It is also important to remember that collectors of the time preferred Proof coinage to the circulation-strike and branch mint issues. Very few were saved ..." This absolute scarcity also leads to condition scarcity--that is, with fewer coins available on an absolute basis there are consequently fewer coins available in high grades. PCGS and NGC combined have only certified three other coins in AU55 with nine finer (the finest being a cluster of four at the MS61 level). As with most high grade 1865 fives, this piece shows remnants of a prooflike finish from the newly polished dies. The striking details are strong and each side is peppered with numerous small abrasions. (PCGS# 8298)

1865 $5 AU55 NGC. Since gold specie payments were suspended at the end of 1861, it is little wonder that the Philadelphia Mint limited Half Eagle production during the latter years of the Civil War. In 1865, the final year of the war, only 1,295 pieces were produced, a mintage figure that is the fifth lowest in the entire 1795-1929 Half Eagle series. Those few coins that survived the rampant exportation and melting of the era typically grade VF or XF, and Breen notes that this date is "prohibitively rare above [those grades]."

This is the first Choice AU 1865 Half Eagle that we have offered in recent memory. Both sides retain ample evidence of a semi-prooflike finish with considerable brightness in the fields. The devices are boldly, if not sharply detailed with only minimal wear across the highpoints. The otherwise olive-gold color warms to reddish-gold shades on the reverse. The fields are a little scuffy from circulation, but the only useful pedigree markers are a group of small scrapes in the reverse field above the E in FIVE. An obviously important offering for the advanced gold collector. Population: 2 in 55, 7 finer (7/02). (PCGS# 8298)

1865 AU 50 Cleaned. Another elusive date in the series with a scant mintage of only 1,295 coins. The 1865 has the fourth lowest mintage of any Liberty half eagle, and the sixth lowest mintage in the entire half eagle series. The obverse of this piece is especially well struck with only slight weakness on the reverse. The brightness of the cleaned surfaces have been subdued by a layer of reddish-coppery patina. The most noticeable abrasions are several on the face of Liberty and one in the lower left obverse field. Very scarce and seldom seen in any grade. (PCGS# 8298)

This specimen resembles many of the other Liberty fives of the period in that, it shows quite even wear.
