Lot Description

1906 Liberty Head Half Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-5. Proof-60 (PCGS). A universally reflective specimen with full striking detail and vivid golden-honey color. At just 85 pieces produced, the 1906 has the lowest mintage among 20th century Proof Liberty Head half eagles. It is the rarest issue in this group, and John W. Dannreuther (2018) estimates that only 50 to 65 coins are extant in all grades. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS# 8501. NGC ID: 28DC.
