Description
Liberty Head Half Eagle
1898-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC.
Lustrous and frosty surfaces with tinges of pale pinkish-rose to dominant medium gold patina. After more or less limited yearly mintages from 1894 through 1897, San Francisco Mint half eagle production soared to 1,397,400 coins in 1898. Although this total is more than twice that reported for the circulation strike 1897, the San Francisco Mint issue is scarcer than its Philadelphia Mint counterpart in all Mint State grades. Underrated, and surprisingly affordable at the present level of preservation.
PCGS# 8397. NGC ID: 25YR.
Estimate: $750
