1855-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). Glints of pinkish-rose iridescence enliven otherwise deep honey-gold surfaces on both sides of this richly original example. Frosty to modestly semi-reflective luster is nearly full, and the strike is sharply executed throughout. Given the incredible rarity of the 1854-S, this is the first collectible half eagle from the San Francisco Mint. The 1855-S can be challenging to locate, especially in grades above VF and without significant impairments. This premium quality AU-55 is among the finer certified and is sure to find its way into another advanced gold cabinet. PCGS# 8265. NGC ID: 25UU. PCGS Population: 22; 24 finer, just two of which are Mint State (MS-62 finest). From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
