Description du lot

Virtually Pristine 1892 Half Eagle 1892 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-67 (NGC). Simply put, it is difficult for us to imagine a more attractive example of either the type or issue than this lovely Superb Gem. Both sides are vividly patinated in reddish-rose, and the surfaces display intense satin luster. Sharply struck and so well preserved as to border on pristine, this example will please even the most discerning numismatist. The circulation strike 1892 half eagle has a mintage of 753,480 pieces, the typical survivor of which grades no finer than MS-62. Given that this issue is relatively scarce even in Choice Mint State, the significance of this Condition Census MS-67 can hardly be overstated. Outstanding! Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. NGC Census: 8; with a single MS-67+ finer. The corresponding PCGS population is 1/0. PCGS# 8379. NGC ID: 25Y6. Click here for certification details from NGC.
