Lot Description

1904 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-67 (NGC). With silky smooth surfaces, razor sharp striking detail and vivid rose-gold patina, this luxurious Superb Gem is seemingly earmarked for inclusion in a high quality type set. Despite a not overly generous mintage of 392,000 circulation strikes, the 1904 is a plentiful issue by Motto Liberty Head half eagle standards. Several thousand Mint State coins have survived but, as with virtually all classic U.S. Mint gold issues, the 1904 is a formidable condition rarity in the finest grades. Solidly in the Condition Census, the present example will please even the most discerning gold enthusiast. NGC Census: 9; with a single MS-68 finer. The corresponding PCGS Population is 6/1 (MS-67+ finest). PCGS# 8409. NGC ID: 25Z4. Click here for certification details from NGC.
