1896-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS).
Pretty orange-honey color blends with frosty mint luster, both sides also offer sharp striking detail throughout the design. Similar in overall and high grade rarity to the 1895-S, the 1896-S is also a low mintage issue (155,400 pieces produced) that is typically offered in EF and AU grades. Significant as a Mint State survivor, and a nearly Choice one at that, the Fairmont specimen offered here will certainly elicit strong bids from advanced collectors of Liberty Head gold.
PCGS# 8393. NGC ID: 25YL.
From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.

Estimate: $1800
