1890 $5 MS (PCGS#8375)

June 2021 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1890 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Noticeably semi-prooflike in finish, this beautiful and fully original example is awash in warm golden-honey patina. The 1890 hails from a brief period of time near the end of the 19th century that saw limited half eagle production in circulation strike format. Neither the Philadelphia nor San Francisco mint struck any coins in this format in 1887 and 1889, respectively, while production at the former facility was limited in 1888, 1889 and 1890. An undeniable key date among late date Liberty Head half eagles, the circulation strike 1890 was produced to the extent of just 4,240 pieces. Elusive in all grades, most survivors are low to middle AU in quality. This is one of the nicest Choice About Uncirculated coins we have ever offered, and a highlight of the impressive offerings from the Fairmont Collection. PCGS Population: 16; 30 finer (MS-66 finest).
