Description

1882-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC.

Impressive quality on a near-Gem Mint State. Soft apricot-gold color blankets the delicate surfaces of this well preserved example. With identical mintages of 969,000 coins each, the 1882-S is similar in both absolute and high grade rarity to the 1881-S. Both issues are among the more popular in the 1880s Liberty Head half eagle series for Mint State type purposes, although we stress that with superior quality, examples such as the offered Fairmont specimen are scarce and sure to see spirited bidding.

PCGS# 8360. NGC ID: 25XJ.

From the Fairmont Collection - Mont Blanc Set.

Estimate: $1000
