Lot 1953
1870-S. PCGS graded AU-58. CAC Approved. One of the four finest 1870-S half eagles graded by both PCGS and NGC combined, with no Mint State examples graded by either service. A mere 17,000 pieces were coined for the year and all apparently entered circulation at least for a time. Pleasing yellow-gold and copper-gold throughout, with minimal surface nicks and good visual appeal. It is estimated by PCGS that a total of only about 85 examples are known in all grades. A scarce coin overall and a formidable rarity so well preserved that is worthy of the finest collection. Pop 2; none finer at both services. (PCGS # 8321) .
Estimated Value $17,000 - 19,000.
