Lot Description

1854 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Blended pinkish-honey color and softly frosted luster are seen on surfaces that display a bold to sharp strike. The 1854 is a surprise rarity with this kind of quality and originality despite its status as a Philadelphia Mint issue with a relatively generous mintage of 160,675 pieces. Sure to catch the attention of astute gold collectors. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. PCGS# 8256. NGC ID: 25UG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
