1887-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-65 (NGC).
Pretty rose-orange color dominates this half eagle, accented by subtle traces of patina at the obverse border. Boldly lustrous with a uniformly satiny texture across all elements. The surfaces remain incredibly untroubled beneath magnification, confirming the accuracy of the Gem Mint State rating from NGC. 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 top-of-the-census NGC offering is sure to be of broad appeal to gold enthusiasts and registry set players.
