1850 Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Glints of peripheral orange-apricot enhance otherwise deep honey-olive color on both sides of this richly original example. Boldly struck with nearly full mint frost remaining.

With Uncirculated survivors from a mintage of 64,491 coins rarely encountered, this handsome and premium quality AU-58 represents a significant find for astute gold collectors. PCGS# 8243.
