1857-S Half Eagle, AU55
Olive-Gold Patina

1857-S $5 AU55 PCGS. The 1857-S issue is more plentiful than many other half eagle dates for the 1850s, although Mint State pieces are conditionally rare. This collectible Choice AU coin displays original olive-gold patina with elements of luster in the protected regions. Slight strike softness is visible only on the hair curls around Liberty's face. This is only our seventh opportunity to offer this date so fine or finer in the last five years (4/26).
