Description du lot

1856 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (NGC). Smartly impressed with vivid orange-gold patina, this satiny and minimally abraded example has the appearance of a higher Mint State grade. An otherwise plentiful issue by 1850s Liberty Head half eagle standards, the 1856 is elusive at the present level of preservation, this coin representing a fleeting bidding opportunity for the specialist. PCGS# 8266. NGC ID: 25UV. NGC Census: 20; 18 finer (MS-65 finest). Provenance: From the Catherine Bullowa Moore Collection.
