1876-S $5

Description

1876-S XF 40. With a miniscule mintage of only 4,000 pieces, this date has the second lowest mintage of the rare S-mint half eagles from 1858 to 1876. Most remaining specimens are VF and below, therefore a nice XF example is an exciting find. This coin is well struck and displays no detracting abrasions that are so commonly seen. Diagnostically, a punchmark on the earlobe, and the typical weak mintmark are both present. Trends $5,750 (5/23).
