Lot Description

1901/0-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. FS-301. MS-63 (PCGS). Bold, vivid golden-apricot color adorns both sides of this satiny and smartly impressed coin. A popular overdate in the Liberty Head gold series, the 1901/0-S half eagle reveals traces of an underlying 0 at the upper right corner of the final digit 1 in the date. Perhaps only 1,500 examples remain across all grades and only 400 in Mint State, few of the latter as visually appealing as the Fairmont Collection specimen offered here. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. PCGS# 8403. NGC ID: 25YX. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
