Losbeschreibung

1889 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Pretty deep orange-gold color blankets both sides of this sharply struck, highly lustrous near-Mint example. Although there may be a temptation to regard the circulation strike 1889 half eagle as just a "type" coin, nothing could be further from the truth. Federal records confirm that only 7,520 examples were produced in this format, and survivors are rare in both worn condition and Mint State. This lovely Fairmont-Hendricks specimen is sure to appeal to astute gold collectors. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS# 8374. NGC ID: 25XZ.
