Lot Description

1848 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC. A beautiful deep honey-rose example that features lively mint luster and bold to sharp striking detail. The 1848 is one of the more frequently encountered half eagles from this decade, but examples that approach Mint State are scarce. The currently offered coin is among the finer AU examples that we have ever offered. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. PCGS# 8236. NGC ID: 25TS.
