- 1881 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS).
Fully lustrous with delightful color in vivid rose-apricot. With 5,708,802 pieces produced, the 1881 boasts the highest mintage in the circulation strike Liberty Head half eagle series of 1839 to 1907. Many examples escaped melting in the United States during the late 1930s through earlier use in export trade, repatriations from foreign bank hoards beginning in the mid 20th century providing thousands of coins for today's Mint State gold type collectors. However, most of these pieces are burdened by significant marks and other signs of poor handling, limiting them to grades of MS-63 and lower. This above average example from the Fairmont-JBR Set is sure to catch the eye of astute gold collectors.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
PCGS# 8354. NGC ID: 25XD.
