Lot Description

1872-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). Satin to modestly semi-reflective surfaces are further adorned with vivid light orange-gold color. With most of the 36,400 half eagles struck in the California branch mint during 1872 lost to the rigors of commerce, even a well worn survivor represents a significant find in today's market. As a PCGS-certified AU the coin offered here would serve with distinction in an advanced collection of Liberty Head gold coinage. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8327. NGC ID: 25WH.
