Lot Description

1854 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). Uncirculated preservation is notable for this otherwise readily obtainable 1850s half eagle issue. Blended rose-gold color and satin to softly frosted luster are seen on nearly Choice surfaces that display a bold to sharp strike. The 1854 is a surprise rarity in Mint State despite its status as a Philadelphia Mint issue with a relatively generous mintage of 160,675 pieces. Survivors are seldom offered with the quality and eye appeal of this present example. Sure to catch the attention of astute gold collectors. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
