1891 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS). CAC.

Luxurious satin luster blends with vivid rose-gold color on both sides of this outstanding near-Gem Mint State $5 gold coin. Far fewer circulation strike 1891 half eagles were struck in the Philadelphia Mint - 61,360 pieces - than in Carson City, the only other coinage facility to produce this denomination that year. The 1891 is anything but plentiful in Mint State and has a far lower certified population than the 1891-CC. With no Gems graded by PCGS, this premium quality MS-64 example from the Fairmont Collection would be difficult to improve upon when seeking an example of this scarce and underrated Philadelphia Mint issue.

PCGS# 8377. NGC ID: 25Y4.
