1882-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC. Delightful apricot-gold color blankets both sides of this frosty, lustrous and smartly impressed near-Gem. With identical mintages of 969,000 coins each, the 1882-S is similar in both absolute and high grade rarity to the 1881-S. Both issues are among the more popular in the 1880s Liberty Head half eagle series for Mint State type purposes, although we stress that with superior quality, examples such as the offered Fairmont specimen are scarce. PCGS# 8360. NGC ID: 25XJ. PCGS Population: 41; 23 finer (MS-66 finest). From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.
