Description
1887-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.
Pretty rose-orange color dominates this half eagle, which is also boldly lustrous with a uniformly frosty texture across all elements. The surfaces remain remarkably untroubled beneath magnification, confirming the accuracy of the near-Gem Mint State rating from PCGS. 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 impressive offering from the Fairmont Collection is sure to be of broad appeal to gold enthusiasts and Set Registry players.

PCGS Population: 10; 10 finer (MS-66 finest). CAC Population: 24; 4. The former total includes coins certified both MS-64 and MS-64+.
