Description

1869 Half Eagle, Patinated AU58
Semireflective Surfaces

1869 $5 AU58 NGC. A predictably elusive With Motto five, the 1869 is just as rare as its mintage of 1,785 pieces implies. As usual for this issue, the fields retain considerable semireflective qualities despite numerous tiny abrasions. The features are well struck throughout with only slight softness noted over the eagle's neck feathers. An original piece, the surfaces have taken on a subtle overlay of reddish-golden patina. Census: 7 in 58, 2 finer (3/14).
