Lot Description

1897-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). Visually appealing honey-apricot surfaces reveal a tinge of pale olive under a light. Fully lustrous with a sharp strike throughout. The 1897-S numbers among the more elusive San Francisco Mint half eagles from the later Liberty Head series, and offerings of Uncirculated survivors are normally few and far between. This is a significant lot for advanced gold enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS# 8395. NGC ID: 25YN. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
