Description du lot

1856 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). Appealing frosty surfaces display vivid, original color in deep golden-apricot. Sharply to fully struck and quite close to a Choice Mint State rating. An otherwise plentiful issue by 1850s Liberty Head half eagle standards, the 1856 is elusive at the present level of preservation, and this coin represents an important bidding opportunity for the specialist. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 18; 15 finer (MS-65+ finest). PCGS# 8266. NGC ID: 25UV. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
