- FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION A most attractive, choice and original example! Soft shades of varied gray hues yield to traces of a thicker peach-gold patina, with some "dirt" clinging to the outlines of the sharply struck design elements. A few minor flecks are noted, one in the obverse field between Liberty's neck and pole will serve as a key identifier for this example, which is ex Richard Jewell Collection. Like most San Francisco mint coins of the Civil War era, the 65-S is a conditionally rare half dollar, despite a mintage of 675,000 pieces. Of that number, PCGS CoinFacts suggests a survival of 450 pieces, with relatively few in Mint State grade. As the war wound down in the east, the west became more and more attractive a place to settle. In 1862, the Homestead Act was passed, providing citizens who had not taken up arms against the union 160 acres of federal lands, provided they "improve" the land. After the war, thousands of settlers began their westward journey, settling the frontier, causing the next major conflict in U.S. history, the famed Indian Wars of the 1860s-1890s. PCGS 4, NGC 2, CAC 1. This is the ONLY CAC example selling for $9,106 in the 2013 ANA auction. Note no MS63 has sold since the January 1999 sale of the Douglass Noblet Collection. Aside from this coin, the only CAC-approved Mint State examples are graded MS65 or MS65+, thus the very strong premium bid placed on this coin nearly seven years ago! Cert. Number 18472359 PCGS # 6314
