1900. NGC graded MS-67. Well struck and mostly untoned. A beauty. Any casual coin buyer might argue that the 1900 is a common date among Liberty Half Eagles in this condition, but such is not the case. While the 1901, 1901-S, and certain other S-mint dates are found superb with some regularity, Philadelphia Mint issues made 1900-and-before seem to be scarce. This razor-sharp Superb Gem has lovely brilliant gold color, and the reverse is virtually immaculate as is Liberty's cheek. A few trivial luster grazes are all that disallow perfection. Worthy of the finest dedicated Liberty Half Eagle collection. Pop 3; 2 finer in 68 (PCGS # 8400) .
Estimated Value $11,000 - 12,000.
