Lot Description

1897-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). A visually appealing piece, both sides are dressed in a blend of honey-rose patina and softly frosted luster. The 1897-S numbers among the more elusive San Francisco Mint half eagles from the later Liberty Head series, and offerings of Uncirculated survivors are normally few and far between, underscoring the significance of this lot for advanced gold enthusiasts. PCGS Population: 11; 10 finer (MS-67+ finest). PCGS# 8395. NGC ID: 25YN. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
