1859 Half Eagle, AU55
Conditionally Scarce; 16,734 Minted

1859 $5 AU55 NGC. Citrus highlights adorn green-gold surfaces. Subtle weakness occurs on the high points of the hair and on the eagle's neck. Trivial abrasions can be found only below the chin and above the right wing. This low-mintage Philadelphia Mint half eagle has claims to greater scarcity than many branch mint coins of the previous few years. Fewer than ten are known in Mint State, and AU examples, while still scarce, provide the optimal collecting opportunity. Census: 19 in 55, 21 finer (12/25).(Registry values: P6)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25VB, PCGS# 8280, Greysheet# 8905)
