Auction 139 | Lot 7777 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles
1871-S MS 61 PCGS. Double Punched Date, Breen-6678. Usually seen in VF or XF, a few AU coins are known, but in mint state the Population Report for PCGS lists this and another MS 61 as the only pieces extant. We suspect this may be a duplicate listing of the same coin and the resubmission has not been removed from the data sheets yet. This coin was completely unknown to both Akers and Breen. It is well struck in most areas with only slight softness noted on the hair curls and eagle's neck feathers. The surfaces are fully lustrous and there is a lovely mixture of deep golden-orange and lilac patina over both sides. Minimally abraded, there are a few small marks behind the mouth of Liberty and an alloy spot between the ER in AMERICA. It would be interesting to know where this important coin resided during the decades that both Akers and Breen compiled their research data on the various gold series. A rare opportunity for the specialist. (PCGS# 8324)

PCGS 1871-S MS 61. Double Punched Date, Breen-6678. Usually VF or XF, there are a few AU coins known, but in mint state the '71-S is unprecedented.

1871-S AU 58 PCGS. Usually VF or XF, there are very few AU coins known. This piece is well struck in most areas with only slight softness noted on the hair curls and eagle's neck feathers.

1871-S $5 AU55 NGC. Bright yellow-gold throughout, with traces of prooflike reflectivity in the fields. This is the recut date variety, with the date first punched low, then corrected. Sharply struck on the obverse, the reverse with minor weakness on the lower portion of the eagle and the attendant devices. A rare date in this lofty grade, and worthy of a strong bid for the clean surfaces and general eye appeal. (PCGS# 8324)

1871-S $5 AU 58 PCGS. The paucity of Mint State survivors of this S-mint delivery places extreme collector pressure upon attractive About Uncirculated examples such as this. The orange-gold surfaces display a pale copper tint as well as scattered contact marks that befit a circulated half eagle. In true San Francisco Mint fashion, the frosty luster accentuates the boldly impressed devices and adds aesthetic appeal to this specimen's numismatic rarity. We encourage ardent gold enthusiasts to enter strong bids for this example as PCGS reports only 2 pieces in AU 58 and 2 MS 61 pieces finer (6/99).

1871-S $5 AU55 NGC. Breen-6678. Doubled Date. Although this issue is from a higher mintage than many of its peers, most survivors are considerably worn. All four digits of the date are doubled below, with slight separation between the two positions. This is the variety discussed by both Akers and Breen, and described by Breen as very rare. Nearly full luster is displayed with attractive light yellow-gold color and very minor abrasions. (PCGS# 8324)

1871-S $5 AU55 PCGS. Few examples of the 1871-S half eagle (25,000 pieces) are offered for sale in any grade. Those few that do appear are usually no better than AU, as a mere four Mint State examples (all MS61) have been seen by PCGS and NGC (4/07). The splendid AU55 specimen offered in this lot displays a good amount of luster in the recessed areas, along with peach-gold coloration. Excellent definition prevails on the uniformly struck design elements, and both sides are relatively clean. Population: 4 in 55, 4 finer (4/07). (PCGS# 8324)

1871-S $5 AU53 PCGS. Double Punched Date. Breen-6678. A difficult San Francisco Half Eagle and an even greater condition rarity, from a comparably large production of 25,000 coins. This example is draped in milky reddish patina and shows a touch of softness on Liberty's highest curls and on the eagle's neck.

1871-S $5 AU 55 NGC. Double Punched Date. Breen-6678. A difficult San Francisco half eagle and an even greater condition rarity, from a deceptively high mintage of 25,000 coins. This example shows a touch of softness on Liberty's highest curls and on the eagle's neck, with the normal quota of mostly inoffensive marks on each side. Our experience with the '71-S places this piece at the low end of the Condition Census scale for the issue. Population: 6 in 55, 2 finer (6/99). (PCGS# 8324)
