I've just acquired this 1869 Liberty Gold Half Eagle PCGS AU-50. Reading Doug Winter's article, https://raregoldcoins.com/blog/2022/3/11/a-dozen-undervalued-liberty-head-half-eagles He states: "The mintage of this date is a paltry 1,760 business strikes. There are an estimated 50-60 known. When available, this date tends to come in grades in the EF45 to AU50 range and virtually every piece I have seen is prooflike, very heavily abraded, and completely stripped due to dipping or more drastic surface alterations." This piece caught my attention, with its clean surfaces and original toning. Perhaps it would CAC or upgrade from its old holder. Whatever the grade, CAC or not, I love it!

  • I've just acquired this 1872 Liberty Gold Half Eagle PCGS AU-55 (CAC Green). Due to the low 1660 mintage, one can see prooflike surfaces around the date and devices. The total pop at PCGS is currently in the low 30's. There less than 10 Uncs graded at PCGS. This is a very undervalued issue!

  • I've just acquired this 1865-S Liberty Gold Half Eagle PCGS AU-50. Though this coin is graded AU-50, due to the luster, color and lack of abrasions this coin has more eye appeal than many higher end AUs. The 1865-s has the second lowest average grade of any Liberty $5.00. It is exciting that this coin has a pedigree of Harry Bass JR and D.L.. Hansen! Harry Bass JR. has donated the funds for a gallery at the ANA museum for his gold! There is a beautiful presentation of the gallery, by the amazing Jeff Garrett: https://www.money.org/money-museum/Harry-W-Bass-Gallery

  • I've just acquired this 1842 Liberty Gold Half Eagle Large Letters PCGS AU-50. A rare coin that shows up in auction about 1 time a year. PCGS has certified 28 in total. NGC has 20. This is one of the most undervalued coins in the set. "P" mint coins are generally less appealing than the southern mint and Carson City coins. PCGS estimates 47 exist in total. This number may be a little low.
