- 1888 Liberty Head Half Eagle. JD-1, the only known dies. Rarity-5+. Proof-58 (PCGS). CAC. Plenty of brightly mirrored reflectivity remains in the field areas on both sides of this endearing medium gold specimen. Fully struck over the design elements to further confirm the Proof status of this rare Liberty Head five. The mintage of the 1888 half eagle in this format is a mere 94 coins. The fact that this is a generous total for a Proof half eagle from the 1880s confirms the awesome rarity of these specially prepared coins. With only 35 to 45 examples believed extant (per John W. Dannreuther, 2018), the opportunity to acquire this minimally handled specimen from the Fairmont Collection deserves serious bidder consideration. PCGS# 8483. NGC ID: 28CS.
