Losbeschreibung

1902 Liberty Head Half Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-4. Proof-58 (PCGS). Otherwise universally reflective surfaces reveal subtle cameo-like contrast between the fields and devices as the coin dips into a light. Sharply struck throughout with pleasing medium gold color. Although more readily obtainable than most earlier dated issues in the Proof Liberty Head half eagle series, the 1902 is a rare coin in an absolute sense with no more than 110 coins believed extant from a mintage of 162 pieces. This lightly handled survivor would do nicely in many advanced cabinets. PCGS# 8497. NGC ID: 28D8. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
