Description

1876-S Half Eagle, XF40
Elusive S-Mint Issue

1876-S $5 XF40 NGC. CAC. During our nation's Centennial year, the San Francisco Mint managed a production of just 4,000 Liberty half eagles, making the issue difficult to procure today. This impressive XF example displays original apricot-orange toning over both sides along with moderate wear. All 1876-S fives show a circular recession on the earlobe, the exact center of the obverse. Marks of any notice are confined to a slightly curved line beneath the right wing. Considering that the Smithsonian has but a VG10 specimen in its vast collection, this seldom-seen representative takes on added importance. The high quality within the grade is confirmed by CAC. CAC: 2 in 40, 4 finer (6/25).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25WY, PCGS# 8341, Greysheet# 9063)
