Gorgeous Near-Mint 1863-S Half Eagle

1863-S $5 AU58 PCGS. There were 17,000 examples of the 1863-S half eagle minted and most or all of them immediately entered circulation, much the same as for nearly every gold coin struck in San Francisco. As a result, the issue is distinctly a condition rarity, even before one begins to take probable resubmissions out of the combined certified population. This lovely example has bright lemon-yellow surfaces with a trace of greenish coloration. The surfaces are faintly marked, consistent with the grade, with only a trace of friction standing between the coin and a Mint State designation. Population: 2 in 58, 1 finer (3/09).(Registry values: P7)
