Losbeschreibung

1872 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Lustrous yellow-gold surfaces reveal significant traces of a semi-prooflike finish. This 1872 half eagle is boldly defined in most areas and offers superior technical quality and eye appeal. The Philadelphia Mint produced only 1,660 circulation strike half eagles in 1872, one of the lowest mintages in the entire Liberty series. Survivors are elusive in all grades, with PCGS CoinFacts accounting for just 50 to 65 coins extant, mostly in grades of AU-53 and lower. At the Choice AU level, this piece is a significant survivor and only 8 coins have been graded finer by PCGS. PCGS Population: 4; 8 finer. PCGS# 8325. NGC ID: 25WF.
