Owner's Description

Only 1,432 half eagles were minted at Philadelphia in 1876. Of that number, there are only 42 grading events at NGC and PCGS combined. As with most (but not all) examples of this date, there is a “die lump” on the neck. This example has a highly reflective frosty luster in the recessed areas. The strike is somewhat soft at the centers for a Philadelphia coin and the color is a pleasing orange gold. Heritage 7/07: 2545.
