1901/0-S $5 Liberty Head Half Eagle PCGS MS63+ Ex. Fairmont Collection

Formerly sold in the Fairmont Collection by Stacks Bowers for $900 on June 2022, Lot #2134, and described as:

1901/0-S Liberty Head Half Eagle. FS-301. MS-63+ (PCGS).

Bold, handsome honey-rose color adorns both sides of this satiny and smartly impressed example. A popular overdate in the Liberty Head gold series, the 1901/0-S half eagle reveals traces of an underlying 0 at the upper right corner of the final digit 1 in the date. Perhaps only 2,000 examples remain across all grades and only 500 in Mint State, few of the latter as nice as the Fairmont specimen in PCGS MS-63+ offered here.

Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection.
