Lot Description

1847 Liberty Head Half Eagle. FS-302. Misplaced Date. AU-58 (PCGS). A dramatic MPD variety, there is an errant digit 1 protruding from the front of Liberty's neck at the junction with the bust. This is a late die state example of the FS-302 attribution with a sharp vertical crack from the top of the coronet at the letters TY in LIBERTY to the border at the digit 4 in the date. Lustrous near-Mint surfaces are originally toned in deep honey-gold and more vivid pinkish-rose. PCGS Population (FS-302 attribution only): 2; with a single MS-62 finer. PCGS# 145698. NGC ID: 25TL.
