Lot Description

1904 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-66 (PCGS). A bright wheat-gold example with razor sharp design elements and outstanding satin luster. Despite a not overly generous mintage of 392,000 circulation strikes, the 1904 is a plentiful issue by Motto Liberty Head half eagle standards. Several thousand Mint State coins have survived but, as with virtually all classic U.S. Mint gold issues, the 1904 is a formidable condition rarity in the finest grades. The offered coin in premium Gem MS-66 will please even the most discerning gold enthusiast. Provenance: From the Silver Springs Collection. PCGS Population: 19; 17 finer (MS-67+ finest). PCGS# 8409.
