1899-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-64 (PCGS).，Lovely rose-orange patina is boldest in the center of the reverse. This San Francisco Mint half eagle offers outstanding quality and eye appeal, and would be equally well suited to a high grade type or date set. An underrated issue relative to its identically dated Philadelphia Mint counterpart, the 1899-S is far rarer in Mint State than the 1899 despite only a marginally lower mintage (1,545,000 vs. 1,710,630 pieces). A significant bidding opportunity for the astute collector of Liberty Head gold coinage. In this era the San Francisco Mint coined large amounts of gold from the Klondike Gold Rush on the Yukon River.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Acquired from Harry Laibstain, September 2008; via Stacks.，
