Description

Elusive XF 1876 Half Eagle
Low-Mintage Centennial Issue

1876 $5 XF40 NGC. Neither Philadelphia nor Denver nor San Francisco issued more than a token number of half eagles in this Centennial year, perhaps due to the release of a large number of long-stored silver coins that occurred in this year. The 1876 half eagle was produced to the extent of only 1,477 pieces. This XF example shows quite a few of the expected ticks and marks from a sojourn in circulation, but none of them are severe. The surfaces are mostly yellow-gold, with a dash of apricot around the date and some deep ochre around part of the reverse rim. Census: 1 in 40, 22 finer (4/10).(Registry values: P3)
