1890 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC.，The satiny deep gold surfaces of this half eagle display a few swirls of pale rose iridescence on the obverse and are subtly semi-prooflike in the fields on both sides. An undeniable key date among late date Liberty Head half eagles, the circulation strike 1890 was produced to the extent of just 4,240 pieces. Elusive in all grades, most survivors are AU. This is one of the few Mint State coins certified, and also one of the few that we have ever offered. A highlight of the impressive gold offerings in the Vanderbilt Collection that seems destined for another important cabinet.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) Estates of Norman Bryant and Dean Mathey sale, February 1973, lot 716.，
