Lot Description

1897-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Considerable prooflike reflectivity remains in the fields of this sharply defined, richly original, deep pinkish-honey example. The 1897-S numbers among the more elusive San Francisco Mint half eagles from the later Liberty Head series, and offerings of premium Choice AU survivors are few and far between. This is a significant lot for advanced gold enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. CAC Population: 9 in all AU grades. PCGS# 8395. NGC ID: 25YN.
