- Exceptionally smooth and well preserved surfaces set this coin apart from the vast majority of 1880-S half eagles extant. Both sides are temptingly close to near-Gem Mint State quality, in fact, and they are further enhanced by a lovely blend of frosty luster and vivid golden-rose color. The 1880-S is the first San Francisco Mint half eagle issue with a mintage of more than 1 million coins (1,348,900 pieces, to be exact), and it is popular for type purposes in circulated and lower Mint State grades. At the present level this issue emerges as a surprise condition rarity and given that, say, a Morgan dollar with a similar certified population would command a much higher price in today's market, this beautiful MS-63 offers outstanding value for the astute bidder.
