  I'd call it a slightly better date. It is no where near the tough types twos like the 68-P or 71-P.

  I don't see it as an issue which will outperform its peers

  It depends on the grade. In unc grades the 67-s is most worthy. For some reason, choice unc and better 1867-s silver and gold coinage had been underrated for most of the past 50 years. The 1867-s $20 in MS63 and higher would be a beast.

  Agree with RR on the conditional considerations and the fact that 1867 as a date is whole ov flooded. The $2.5 is probably one of the most underrated gold coins in any grade.

  It is a Pcgs au50 . I bought it raw in 1991 for $500. But again , I am perusing another half eagle for my collection with limited funds.

  Compared to most 20th century dates like the 1900 or the 1904 it's a scarce date. Now, compare the total population of this coin with the number of wealthy collectors who are seriously trying assemble a complete a set of Liberty double eagles and you can see it's not exactly rare. It always comes down to supply and demand. People who are trying to put away a few double eagles for whatever reason are usually willing to pay a little more for a better date but they don't normally seek out a specific scarce date like a set builder would do.

  1867-S double eagles are definitely better date coins in the upper AU grade range and in mint state.
  
  
  
  This date seems to be more available in AU58 over the past couple of years. The table below shows the number of PSCG and NGC AU58 coins sold by Heritage over the past decade along with the average price realized. The price appears to be softening for this date, perhaps a little more than other better date double eagles.
