Auction 60314 | Lot 51439 » Half Eagles » Liberty Half Eagles
1878 $5 MS65+ PCGS. CAC. Breen-6703, Repunched Date. Mintage of half eagles increased dramatically at the Philadelphia Mint in 1878, with a reported production of 131,720 pieces. While the date is is available in circulated grades today, but only a handful of specimens have been certified above the Gem level. This coin is a delightful high-end Gem, with sharply detailed design elements and vibrant satiny mint luster throughout. The pleasing yellow gold surfaces show a few minor contact marks -- none overly significant in the least -- and a tiny alloy spot above the F in FIVE, which serves as a useful pedigree marker. Repunching at the first 8 in the date is plainly visible within the lower loop. Overall, the 1878 half eagle is scarce in Mint State and a major rarity above the MS65 grade. This Plus-graded example is destined for a fine Registry Set or advanced half eagle collection. (PCGS# 8345)

1878 $5 MS65 NGC. Frosty and brilliant. Most design features are boldly and deeply defined including the obverse stars, all of which show their radials. The eagle's plumage and claw details are also sharp. Despite a fairly generous mintage of 131,740 pieces, David Akers, a pioneer in the study of 19th-century gold rarities, writes that the 1878 is "moderately scarce in strictly Uncirculated condition" and that "Gems . . . are seldom seen." This testimony is borne out by the population data for the issue which shows that MS65 examples rank as important condition rarities. Census: 2 in 65, 1 finer (11/05). (PCGS# 8345)
