Liberty Half Eagles
1904-S $5 MS63 NGC. An attractive Select example of this popular low-mintage San Francisco half eagle issue, crisply struck with powerful luster that enlivens the yellow-gold surfaces. Only a few wispy abrasions in the fields preclude a finer designation. The 1904-S issue was little saved at the time of release, and unworn examples are elusive today. Census: 11 in 63, 5 finer (4/17).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2008), lot 3511.
