Lot Description

1892-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. Billowy mint luster and vivid rose-gold color greet the viewer from both sides. Well struck throughout with abundant eye appeal. The 1892-S is the first San Francisco Mint half eagle produced since 1888, the export trade claiming many of the 298,400 coins struck. Repatriations account for most of the Mint State coins in today's market, but they are few in an absolute sense, and very few when viewed in the wider context of the late date Liberty Head half eagle series. Combining absolute and condition scarcity, this PQ PCGS/CAC MS-63 is sure to catch the eye of advanced gold enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8382. NGC ID: 25Y9.
