1893-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC. This is a lovely, fully original near-Gem with a sharp strike and vivid deep rose color. Remarkably well preserved for a survivor of this otherwise relatively obtainable 1890s half eagle issue from the San Francisco Mint, and worthy of a strong premium, as such. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. PCGS Population: 9; 4 finer (MS-66+ finest). PCGS# 8386. NGC ID: 25YD. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
