Description

1889 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58+ (PCGS). CAC.
Pretty deep honey-rose color blankets both sides of this sharply struck, highly lustrous near-Mint example. Although there may be a temptation to regard the circulation strike 1889 half eagle as just a "type" coin, nothing could be further from the truth. Federal records confirm that only 7,520 examples were produced in this format, and survivors are rare in both worn condition and Mint State. This lovely Fairmont-JBR specimen is sure to appeal to astute gold collectors.
PCGS# 8374. NGC ID: 25XZ.
CAC Population: 15 in all AU grades.
From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
