1859-S $5 Liberty. NGC graded EF-45. Lightly toned with the friction evenly spread and free from noticeable marks. Virtually all '59-S Half Eagles became well worn. David Akers, who did much research on the series, never saw a coin better than Extremely Fine, and only two or three Extremely Fine pieces were seen (which is an important consideration for bidding). Only 13,220 struck. Pop 3; 21 finer (PCGS # 8283) .
Estimated Value $2,800 - 2,900.
