Lot Description

1902 Liberty Half Eagle. MS-65 (NGC). Deep honey gold with lively olive highlights and broadly sweeping cartwheel luster. A satiny and lustrous Gem example of the date, and a coin that is near the top of the NGC <em>Census Report </em>for the date. Indeed, fewer than 10 examples have been accorded finer grades than the present piece by NGC. Choice for the grade physically as well as aesthetically.
