<p>[QUOTE="webstandardcss, post: 1993598, member: 72151"]The 1875 is the rarest collectible Liberty Head half eagle. (The 1854-S is rarer but with no pieces likely available to collectors in the near future, I regard this issue as “non-collectible.”) Only 200 business strikes were produced and the number of pieces known has generally been estimated to be in the area of ten. I think this estimate is reasonably accurate although I think the actual number known could be as low as seven or eight.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1875 is unknown in Uncirculated</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.coinlink.com/News/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/1875_half_eagle_bm_nov2010.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.coinlink.com/News/us-coins/the-record-setting-sale-of-an-1875-half-eagle-what-does-it-portend/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinlink.com/News/us-coins/the-record-setting-sale-of-an-1875-half-eagle-what-does-it-portend/" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinlink.com/News/us-coins/the-record-setting-sale-of-an-1875-half-eagle-what-does-it-portend/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
