Ex Fairmont Collection, as noted on the insert. Only a single pair of dies were used to strike the entire mintage of 39,789 half eagles. We consider this coin to be a VERY CHOICE AU! Totally original, this coin shows just the lightest touch of problem free circulation. Extra clean surfaces are a delight to behold Any ticks are tiny and are widely scattered and require a strong glass to see them. A slight luster is visible all over and both sides are a deeper totally original gold color. Miss Liberty and the details are surprisingly well struck. The eye appeal is superb for the grade! PCGS 15, NGC 23, CAC 7. The current Collectors Universe value is $9,000. This is not a date or grade you will see offered very often. Pretty cool! VERY RARE FINER, PCGS has graded just 16 higher, and CAC has only beaned three higher, including a 55+ CAC that sold for $13,200 in April 2022. Bound for a really neat collection of southern branch mint gold. Cert. Number 45172485 PCGS # 8262
