1885-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-65+ (PCGS). A glorious upper end Gem with vivid golden-apricot color to both sides. Satiny in texture with full mint luster, razor sharp striking detail and expertly preserved surfaces. An underrated condition rarity, the 1885-S is highly elusive in Gem Mint State despite being one of the more plentiful 1880s half eagles in terms of total number of coins extant. One would be extremely hard pressed to find a nicer example than that offered here. PCGS# 8368. NGC ID: 25XT. PCGS Population: 6; 15 finer (MS-67 finest). From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.
