<B>1863-S $5 AU58 PCGS.</B></I> As with all earlier half eagle issues from the San Francisco Mint, the 17,000 pieces that comprise the 1863-S found their way into commercial channels and circulated extensively. As a result, the 1863-S, like its earlier and certain later counterparts, is prized in better circulated grades today. Pieces that show any remaining luster are highly elusive, and the combined certified population shows just one Mint State representative, an MS61 coin (11/07).<BR> Absent this anomalous exemplar, a near-Mint piece such as the one offered here is the best grade the dedicated collector can achieve. The lightly marked surfaces, primarily yellow-gold with whispers of green, shows just a touch of friction on Liberty's uppermost curls. With excellent definition and substantial eye appeal, this half eagle would make an excellent addition to an advanced numismatic cabinet.<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>)
