Description du lot

Tinges of pinkish-rose blend with dominant orange-gold color on both sides of this richly original example. After the facility produced no circulation strikes the preceding year, the Philadelphia Mint struck only 18,201 half eagles in this format in 1888. This is a scarce to rare issue at all levels of preservation. This example is sure to result in a strong price for the issue, as opportunities such as this often come along only once in a long while.
