Lot Description

This is a wholesome example of this VERY SCARCE early with Motto San Francisco mint half eagle. Only 29,000 were struck, and from that mintage less than 100 are estimated to survive, none in Mint State. Pleasing yellow gold surfaces show tinges of pale orange highlights in the protected areas. Typical of San Francisco mint issues of the era, the strike is somewhat soft with wide, flat rims. Make no mistake, this coin is a truly important coin for the collector. PCGS 10, NGC 7. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $2,600 and the last one sold for $1,821 in our August 2020 Regency Auction; we think it will sell for more now. Good luck. Cert. Number 2606885-005 PCGS # 8314.00
