详细说明

1902 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-65+ (PCGS). Fully struck with vivid golden-orange color and billowy mint luster. Both sides are exceptional in their preservation with surfaces that approach perfection for this issue. The 1902 half eagle boasts a low mintage of just 172,400 pieces, representing a steep drop from the 615,900 pieces struck in Philadelphia the year before and the 226,870 that would be struck the following year. Perhaps just 3,000 1902 half eagles remain in all grades, with the vast majority of examples in circulated grades. While it is somewhat available in lower Mint State grades, it becomes considerably scarce in Gem with only about 35 examples known. The present MS-65+ is one of the most desirable survivors and is sure to attract significant interest. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. PCGS Population: 8; 13 finer (MS-67+ finest). PCGS# 8405. NGC ID: 25YY. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
