Description

1887-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS).

Pretty golden-apricot color dominates this half eagle, which is also boldly lustrous with a uniformly satin texture across all elements. The surfaces remain remarkably untroubled beneath magnification, confirming the Choice Mint State rating from PCGS. Beautiful to examine in-hand. Survivors from a mintage of 1,912,000 pieces are available in grades through MS-63, but any finer and the 1887-S becomes a noteworthy condition rarity. This impressive offering from the Fairmont Collection is sure to be of broad appeal to gold enthusiasts and Set Registry players.

PCGS# 8371. NGC ID: 25XW.

From the Fairmont Collection - Kronen Set.
