Description

1879-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC.

Vivid deep rose-gold surfaces support a sharp to full strike with soft, frosty mint luster throughout. Keeping pace with the main coinage facility in Philadelphia, the San Francisco Mint also continued to increase half eagle production through 1879 with a delivery of 426,200 coins for the year. Although fairly plentiful in circulated grades, Uncirculated survivors are scarce, especially beginning at the upper reaches of the MS-62 level, as here.

PCGS# 8350. NGC ID: 25X9.

From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set.

Estimate: $ 1000
