1877-S $5 Liberty. PCGS graded AU-55. Well struck and lightly toned with scattered light field and surface marks. A scarce specimen with original patina over still-lustrous surfaces. Collectors, discussing the relative ease or difficulty of acquiring half eagles minted in the 1870s, consider the '77-S a rarity in all grades, with Very Fine or an occasional Extremely Fine about the best that is usually offered. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a handsome AU55 specimen, one of the better 1877-S half eagles extant (with apparently only one piece graded Mint State by PCGS). Certainly an opportunity the collector won't want to miss. Pop 6; 1 finer in 64. Only 26,700 struck (PCGS # 8344) .
Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,600.

 
Realized $2,415
