1853 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS).
Glints of reddish-rose iridescence enliven otherwise deep golden-apricot surfaces. Both sides are fully frosted with a generally bold strike. Although plentiful in worn condition, the 1853 is similar to other Philadelphia Mint half eagles of the era in that it develops into a significant condition rarity in Mint State. This solidly graded and visually appealing Mint State example would be just right for a high grade date set or advanced type collection.
PCGS# 8253. NGC ID: 25UD.
Ex Fairmont Collection.
