1875-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC.
A pleasant deep honey-rose example with particularly sharp detail remaining throughout the design on the reverse. The obverse is a bit soft around the periphery, where some of the stars are faint, but Liberty's portrait is well outlined with some bolder detail remaining. 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 specimen offered here would make a fitting addition to an advanced collection of Liberty Head and/or San Francisco Mint gold coinage.
