1881/0 $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle PCGS MS-63 CAC

Category: $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle
Wire/ACH/Check/Zelle Price
CAC has stickered 20 in this grade with just one MS64 as finer. In Gem condition, this overdate variety is virtually unknown. A small portion of the enormous 1881 half eagle mintage exists as an overdate variety in which the final digit is repunched over the remnants of a 0. The variety is bold and easily visible to the naked eye, which accounts for much of its popularity among specialists. 

As with most overdates in the U.S. gold series, demand for the 1881/0 is far lower than for comparable silver and nickel overdates, largely because far fewer collectors pursue gold coins by date and mintmark. The variety remains relatively obscure, and previously unrecognized examples continue to surface. Most survivors grade only Extremely Fine or About Uncirculated. Mint State coins are scarce, with MS-63 representing the highest grade recorded by the authors.
