Lot Description

A vivid orange-apricot example with bold design elements and outstanding mint 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 with CAC approval is a rare premium Gem MS-65 that will please even the most discerning gold enthusiast.
