- 1888 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. Handsome pinkish-honey surfaces are softly frosted in finish with a generally sharp strike from the dies. Perhaps not surprisingly after the facility produced no circulation strikes the preceding year, the Philadelphia Mint struck only 18,201 half eagles in this format in 1888. This is a scarce to rare issue at all levels of preservation, so much so that if more collectors were assembling date and mint sets of this series the present example in attractive MS-62 would almost certainly command a significantly higher price. A coin that offers outstanding value for the astute gold enthusiast. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8372. NGC ID: 25XX. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
