Lot Description

1904 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-65+ (PCGS). CAC. A bright wheat-gold example with razor sharp design elements and outstanding mint luster. Despite a not overly generous mintage of 392,000 circulation strikes, the 1904 is a plentiful issue by Motto Liberty Head half eagle standards. Several thousand Mint State coins have survived but, as with virtually all classic U.S. Mint gold issues, the 1904 is a formidable condition rarity in the finest grades. The offered coin in premium Gem MS-65+ will please even the most discerning gold enthusiast. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 7; 25 finer (MS-67+ finest). CAC Population: 12; 16. The former total includes coins certified both MS-65 and MS-65+. PCGS# 8409. NGC ID: 25Z4. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
