Description
1887-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.
Pretty golden-apricot 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# 8371. NGC ID: 25XW.
PCGS Population: 11; 10 finer (MS-66 finest).
