Lot Description

Razor sharp in strike, this lovely example also offers full mint frost and original straw-gold color. While the 1899 (1,710,630 circulation strikes produced) is a plentiful late date Liberty Head half eagle in an absolute sense, the type as a whole is scarce in MS-66 and rare any finer. We expect this lovely premium Gem to sell to a discerning gold type or date collector.
