- 1895-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). Sharply struck with smooth, satiny mint luster, vivid golden-orange color is also a praiseworthy attribute for this lovely BU example. With just 112,000 pieces produced, the 1895-S is one of the scarcest San Francisco Mint half eagles from the 1890s. It is also one of the rarest in Mint State as the vast majority of coins produced immediately entered commercial channels on the West Coast. Indeed, the typical example encountered in numismatic circles grades Extremely Fine or, at best, About Uncirculated. Attractive Choice AU coins often command a premium due to the paucity of Mint State survivors. This desirable Mint State 1895-S half eagle is worthy of serious consideration and also a very strong bid. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS Population: 20; 14 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 8391. NGC ID: 25YJ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
