Description

1859 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS).

Blended deep honey and pinkish-orange colors provide attractive originality for both sides. Well struck for the issue with plenty of softly frosted luster remaining. The 1859 is a grossly underrated No Motto Liberty Head half eagle in all grades, especially in AU and Mint State preservation. The mintage of 16,734 pieces is similar to that of many of the more highly regarded mintmarked half eagles of the era, but the 1859 is actually more elusive in today's market. Clearly, this attractive and rare AU survivor represents a significant find for astute gold collectors.

PCGS# 8280. NGC ID: 25VB.

PCGS Population: 10; 18 finer (MS-64 finest).

From the Fairmont Collection - Mont Blanc Set.

Estimate: $3000
