1885-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-66 (PCGS). A glorious upper end Gem with vivid golden-wheat color to both sides. Satiny in texture with full mint luster, razor sharp striking detail and expertly preserved surfaces provide further appeal for the discerning gold enthusiast. 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. From the Fairmont Collection.
