Description
1874-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.
A remarkably second Choice AU offering for a conditionally challenging S-Mint half eagle issue that is unknown in any Mint State grade. Abundant frosty to semi-reflective luster shines forth as handsome deep honey-rose surfaces dip into a light. The mintmark is sharper even than that seen on the JBR specimen offered above, and it is as close to full as one is likely to find in an 1874-S $5. Well struck otherwise with most features bold, the surfaces are attractively original and nicely composed -- ideal for inclusion in an advanced collection of Liberty Head gold.
PCGS# 8335. NGC ID: 25WR.
PCGS Population: 12; 2 finer (both AU-58). There are also no Mint State examples known to NGC. CAC Population: 3; 2 (both AU-58).
From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
