Description du lot

1857 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-62+ (PCGS). CAC. Fully struck with thick satin to frosty luster, and rich original honey-orange color that enhances this coin's considerable appeal. While not a great rarity in an absolute sense -- the mintage is 98,188 pieces -- the 1857 is one in a long line of No Motto Liberty Head half eagles from the Philadelphia Mint that are underrated rarities in Mint State. A find for advanced gold enthusiasts, especially as one of only a handful of Mint State examples to have met with CAC approval. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 1; 20 finer (MS-64+ finest). CAC Population: 10 in all Mint State grades. PCGS# 8271. NGC ID: 25V2. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
