Uncommon dates are where you find them, but they're usually raw if they sell for prices close to melt. Bullion dealers are not always motivated by collectibility, but they are mostly trustworthy for authenticity. I turned up a raw VF-XF 1874-S half eagle at a shop I trust for a small premium 20 years ago. Always check the weight yourself.
