Lot Description

1868-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS). Blended pale rose and medium honey-gold patina blankets both sides of this appreciably lustrous example. Most design elements retain bold striking detail, the S mintmark a tad soft, yet fully discernible in hand. These are scarce to rare in all grades, the mintage a scant 52,000 pieces with most coins lost to heavy commercial use. PCGS# 8316. NGC ID: 25W6. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
