1885-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. Liberty. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.
A glorious upper end near-Gem with vivid deep golden-rose color to both sides. Satin to softly frosted in texture with full mint luster, razor sharp striking detail and expertly preserved surfaces provide further appeal for the discerning gold enthusiast. An underrated condition rarity, the 1885-S is highly elusive in Gem Mint State despite being one of the more plentiful 1880s half eagles in terms of total number of coins extant. The Fairmont specimen offered here, just shy of this level of preservation, offers outstanding value for the astute gold collector.
