Lot Description

1899 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-66 (PCGS). Razor sharp in strike, this lovely example also offers full mint frost and original golden-apricot color. While the 1899 (1,710,630 circulation strikes produced) is a plentiful late date Liberty Head half eagle in an absolute sense, the type as a whole is scarce in MS-66 and rare any finer. We expect this lovely premium Gem to sell to a discerning gold type or date collector. Provenance: From the Silver Springs Collection. PCGS Population: 40; 11 finer (MS-67+ finest). PCGS# 8398.
