Lot Description

1847 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. Vivid golden-orange surfaces are enhanced by tinges of peripheral pinkish-rose. Modest semi-reflectivity is seen on otherwise softly frosted luster. The 1847 is the most available half eagle from its decade in terms of total number of coins known, but it remains scarce to rare in all Mint State grades. This thoroughly PQ example is sure to sell for a nice premium. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS# 8231. NGC ID: 25TL. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
