This 1872-S Liberty Head half eagle exhibits a calm, fully original gold complexion, anchored by a warm golden-yellow base that reflects natural circulation and long-term, undisturbed storage. The surfaces present a softly matte, diffused glow rather than brightness, with subtle transitions of honey-gold and deeper amber. Considering there are only 115 today in all grades, this mid grade example under $2,000 represents excellent value.
