- 1903-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-66 (PCGS).
Lovely golden-orange surfaces exhibit intermingled pale pink highlights. Striking detail is sharp, and the luster is full with a soft, smooth, satiny texture. Collectors seeking a single high quality example to represent this long-running gold series typically gravitate to late date issues like the 1903-S for, generally speaking, they include most of the best produced and most carefully preserved Liberty half eagles; and this is just such a coin. The softness of gold as a coinage metal and the manner in which these issues were handled means that most Mint State survivors of even overall plentiful issues are usually confined to lower grades through MS-65 due to abrasions. The present example is an exception and is sure to sell for a premium bid.
Provenance: From the Silver Springs Collection.
