1875-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.
Remarkably well preserved for an issue that is challenging to find even in problem free EF preservation. This is a fully Choice AU, in fact nearly Uncirculated example with abundant frosty luster on original deep honey-rose surfaces. Striking detail remains razor sharp to full, and the surfaces are very nice for the assigned grade. Our offerings for this issue have been few and far between over the years, and with good reason. The 1875-S is a heavily circulated half eagle issue with a mintage of just 9,000 coins. The Fairmont-JBR specimen offered here combines absolute and condition rarity, and would make a fitting addition to any advanced collection of Liberty Head gold coinage. Finest graded verified by CAC!
