Losbeschreibung

1874-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. EF-40 (PCGS). Warm honey-apricot patina blankets both sides of this boldly to sharply defined example. The S mintmark is faint, typical of the issue, yet still appreciable in hand. Highly elusive in all grades, the 1874-S half eagle has a limited mintage of 16,000 coins, most of which were worn out and eventually lost in circulation on the West Coast. When we further consider that this is one of a select group of U.S. Mint issues that are currently unknown in Mint State, the significance of this problem free and aesthetically pleasing EF can hardly be denied.
