August 2023 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: 1874 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC. An important About Uncirculated 1874 half eagle, an issue that is elusive even in well worn condition. This lustrous, frosty example exhibits sharp striking detail to virtually all elements of the design. Modestly semi-prooflike in the fields and highly attractive. Originally preserved, with even warm pinkish-honey color. After an unusually generous mintage of 224,895 coins in 1873, circulation strike half eagle production at the Philadelphia Mint returned to pre-1873 standards with a mintage of just 3,488 pieces. Survivors are few and far between and most are circulated in grades such as EF or low end AU. Few are as attractively and originally preserved as this present offering from the Fairmont Collection. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. CAC Stickered Population: 15 in all grades. PCGS# 8333. NGC ID: 25WN. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
