1870 Half Eagle, AU58
Near-Mint Liberty Five Rarity
Just 4,000 Pieces Struck

1870 $5 AU58 PCGS. A bonafide, underrated rarity among all Liberty Head half eagles, the 1870 Philadelphia issue had a limited mintage of just 4,000 pieces. Grading events number fewer than 110 pieces at PCGS and NGC combined in all grades -- fewer than either the highly sought 1870-CC and 1870-S half eagles. PCGS reports just three Mint State examples (all MS61 coins), making this lightly abraded, near-Mint example of great importance. Pleasing straw-gold color and a sharp strike add to the appeal. Population: 6 in 58, 3 finer (2/25).
