Lot Description

1871-S Liberty Half Eagle. AU-50 (NGC). The soft orange-gold surfaces reveal plenty of remaining luster and mint frost among the devices. Only lightly abraded to the unaided eye though we do note some scattered marks under low magnification, as should be expected for an AU-50 coin. A curious wavy toning line bisects the lower portion of the obverse. All told, a worthwhile example of a scarce San Francisco Mint issue. PCGS# 8324.
