<B>1864<$5> AU55 NGC.</B></I> Among Civil War Half Eagles, the 1864 is superceded in overall rarity by the 1862, 1863, and 1865. Some novice numismatists assume that this issue is "common," the 1864 boasts an original mintage of only 4,220 pieces and survivors are seldom encountered in any grade. Examples that grade above VF are especially rare and a problem-free About Uncirculated coin would be among the centerpieces of any gold collection. This is a moderately abraded, yet crisply defined specimen whose surfaces display warm orange-gold patina. The few most prevalent abrasions are confined to the reverse field and the overall eye appeal is well above par for the issue. Population: 10 in 55, 6 finer (4/04). <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
