Lot Description

1847 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC. Original honey-golden surfaces are enhanced by tinges of pale orange-apricot. Softly frosted in texture and fully lustrous. The 1847 is the most available half eagle from its decade in terms of total number of coins known, but it remains scarce to rare in all Mint State grades. This thoroughly PQ example is sure to sell for a nice premium. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS# 8231. NGC ID: 25TL. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
