1894 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). This orange-gold example is further enhanced by frosty mint luster and sharp to full striking detail. The 1894 half eagle was produced in generous numbers -- 957,880 circulation strikes -- and it is readily available, indeed common in such grades as AU or low Mint State. Scarce any finer than Choice Mint State, however, and few of these could rival the present coin in terms of originality and eye appeal.
