1869 Half Eagle, AU58
Only 1,760 Circulation Strikes

1869 $5 AU58 NGC. With one of the lowest mintages in the entire Liberty Head half eagle series, the 1869 issue is surprisingly overlooked by even seasoned collectors. Just 1,760 pieces were struck, and auction appearances are sparse. This near-Mint example displays partially prooflike surfaces (to be expected with such a low mintage). Vibrant orange-gold surfaces host a reasonably sharp strike, which lacks crispness only on Liberty's central curls and the eagle's neck. Light abrasions on both sides determine the assigned grade. Census: 9 in 58, 2 finer (10/19).(Registry values: P3)
