- 1890 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC. Modestly semi-prooflike in finish, this overall frosty example is fully endowed with warm rose-gold patina. The 1890 hails from a brief period of time near the end of the 19th century that saw limited half eagle production in circulation strike format. Neither the Philadelphia nor San Francisco mint struck any coins in this format in 1887 and 1889, respectively, while production at the former facility was limited in 1888, 1889 and 1890. An undeniable key date 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 offerings in this sale, and eagerly awaiting inclusion in an important cabinet. PCGS Population: 8; 13 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 8375. NGC ID: 25Y2.
