- 1888 Liberty Head Half Eagle. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC. Handsome rose-gold surfaces are fully frosted in finish with an impressively sharp strike from the dies. Perhaps not surprisingly after the facility produced no circulation strikes the preceding year, the Philadelphia Mint struck only 18,201 half eagles in this format in 1888. This is a scarce to rare issue at all levels of preservation, so much so that if more collectors were assembling date and mint sets of this series the present example in MS-63+ would almost certainly command a price well into the five-figure range. A coin that offers outstanding value for the astute gold enthusiast. PCGS Population: 3; 4 finer (MS-65 finest). PCGS# 8372. NGC ID: 25XX. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
