Losbeschreibung

This satiny golden-honey example is sharply struck with strong eye appeal at the assigned grade level. Of particular appeal to the advanced Liberty Head gold collector given the fact that PCGS has certified very few examples of this issue in Choice Mint State, and none finer than MS-64. The 1888-S half eagle, in fact, is scarce even in lower Mint State grades, this despite a fairly generous mintage of 293,900 pieces.
