Lot Description

1901/0-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. FS-301. MS-65 (PCGS). This is a visually stunning Gem with flashy luster and vibrant golden-apricot patina. A popular overdate in the Liberty Head gold series, the 1901/0-S half eagle reveals traces of an underlying 0 at the upper-right corner of the final digit 1 in the date. Perhaps only 1,500 examples remain across all grades and only 400 in Mint State, few of the latter as nice as the one offered here. This remarkable condition rarity would do justice to even the most advanced gold cabinet. Provenance: From the Gurian Collection of Liberty Head Gold. Acquired from Stack's, date not recorded. Company tag included. PCGS Population: 28; 10 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 8403. NGC ID: 25YX. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
