Description

Eye-Appealing 1867 Half Eagle, AU53
Ex: 1969 Merkin Auction

1867 $5 AU53 NGC. Both the Seated Liberty dime and quarter issues as well as the smaller-denomination gold coins saw small mintages in this Reconstruction Era year, 6,870 pieces in the case of the half eagle. The average grade of certified survivors is Choice XF to AU, so this piece is slightly better than most graded examples. The eye appeal is excellent, however, with a few scattered marks on each side consistent with a short spell in commerce. The rich orange-gold color and decent strike are also pluses. Census: 11 in 53, 17 finer (10/12).
