Lot Description

1890 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-62 (NGC). Beautiful rose-gold patina blankets both sides of this boldly struck, fully lustrous, highly attractive example.

This is one of the few Mint State coins certified, and also one of the few that we have ever offered. A highlight of the impressive gold offerings in this sale, and eagerly awaiting inclusion in an important cabinet. Provenance: From The Des Moines Collection. NGC Census: 5; 4 finer (MS-68 * finest).
