1890 $5 MS (PCGS#8375)

Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1890 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). Modestly semi-prooflike, this generally frosty example displays full, warm honey-rose color. The 1890 hails from a brief time near the end of the 19th century that saw limited circulation strike half eagle production. The Philadelphia Mint struck no half eagles for circulation in 1887 and only small numbers in 1888, 1889 and 1890; San Francisco produced none in 1889. A key issue among late date Liberty Head half eagles, the circulation strike 1890 was produced to the extent of just 4,240 pieces. Elusive in all grades, most survivors are AU. This is one of the few Mint State coins certified, and also one of the few that we have ever offered. A highlight of the impressive gold pieces in this offering from the Fairmont Collection, and just right for an important cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
