<B>1861-S $5 AU55 NGC.</B></I> Uncommonly solid detail with still-lustrous fields that showcase subtle apricot and mustard-gold shadings. Light but distinct wear visits the highpoints, and the surfaces show scattered marks, including one at the corner of Liberty's mouth. Still, the overall visual appeal remains strong for this elusive San Francisco issue.<BR> Garrett and Guth (2006), discussing the 1861-S in their <I>Encyclopedia of U.S. Gold Coins</B></I>, offer the following comments: "Half eagles were the favored denomination on the West Coast during the early 1860s. Most of the small mintage of 1861-S half eagles was well circulated, and few examples have survived." The appearance of this Choice AU representative should not pass unnoticed. Census: 6 in 55, 8 finer (12/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
