1871-S $5 AU50 NGC. Despite its mintage of 25,000 piec
<B>1871-S $5 AU50 NGC.</B></I> Despite its mintage of 25,000 pieces, the 1871-S half eagle, like almost all the other San Francisco half eagles of the decade, is elusive in any grade. This lightly worn yellow-gold example, which possesses a strike worthy of the Dahlonega Mint, has wheat accents and traces of luster associated with the luminous surfaces. Aside from the usual handling marks, this piece has a distinctive sinusoidal flaw that crosses the lower bust. Census: 10 in 50, 45 finer (10/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
