1858 Liberty Half Eagle, MS64+
Low-Mintage Philadelphia Issue

1858 $5 MS64+ NGC. CAC. Only 15,136 Liberty half eagles were struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1858, a production total that was about on par with the scarce branch-mint issues of that era. The 1858 circulated heavily at the time of issue, making high-grade examples rare in today's market. The present coin is a high-end Choice example, with well-detailed design elements that show just a touch of softness on Liberty's hair and the arrow fletchings. The well-preserved orange-gold surfaces emit vibrant satiny mint luster and overall eye appeal is outstanding. Census: 4 in 64 (1 in 64+), 3 finer (4/15).(Registry values: P5)
