1888 $5 MS (PCGS#8372)

The Summer 2022 Global Showcase Auction U.S. Coins

详细说明: 1888 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC. Tinges of reddish-rose blend with dominant honey-gold color on both sides of this richly original example. 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 would almost certainly command a considerable higher price. As it is, its offering in this sale is sure to result in a strong price for the issue, as opportunities such as this often come along only once in a long while. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 6; 6 finer (MS-65 finest). CAC Population: 6; 1. PCGS# 8372. NGC ID: 25XX. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
