Rare Date San Francisco Date, Steely Frosted Luster, CAC Pop 1. Consignor Buyout and Price Reduction. Original Mint bloom is easily evident in the protected areas of this rare 1873-S half eagle along with surrounding Liberty and the other design elements. Orange-rose patina is present at the rims, leading toward yellow-gold fields. CAC notes a low 27 pieces in all grades, and the minimal populations are one of the attractions of the rare date gold market. Compare with the 1904 $20, for which over 5,000 pieces have been awarded CAC stickers! Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval. December 1969
