Losbeschreibung

1899 Liberty Head Half Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-5-. Proof-58 (PCGS). CAC. This lovely piece retains nearly full cameo Proof finish, the fields highly reflective and supporting softly frosted design elements. Razor sharp in strike with only wispy handling marks to explain the assigned grade. Only 99 Proof half eagles were struck, of which just 50 to 65 pieces are estimated to survive in all grades (per John W. Dannreuther, 2018). PCGS# 8494. NGC ID: 28D5.
