Description
1863-S Half Eagle, AU58
Very Rare Issue
1863-S $5 AU58 PCGS. The 1863-S No Motto Liberty Head five
dollar gold "is very rare in any condition" as stated by David
Akers. In this near-Mint State condition, the 1863-S half eagle is
extremely rare. From the original mintage of 17,000 coins, the vast
majority of this issue from the San Francisco branch mint
circulated extensively in commerce, with only an estimated 55
examples remaining in all grades. This superb specimen has rich
orange-gold toning evenly blanketing each side. The luster is
satiny, radiating over the surfaces. Abrasions are light and
commensurate with the grade. Sharply struck with the Coronet Head
portrait and eagle feathers displaying excellent definition. The
coin has wonderful overall presentation with lovely eye appeal.
