Description

# 1901/0-S Liberty Head Half Eagle - PCGS MS64. An exceptional San Francisco Mint Liberty Head Half Eagle representing a significant year in American numismatic history. This overdate variety showcases the intricate minting techniques of the early 20th century, with the underlying 1900 date partially visible beneath the 1901 overdate. The coin displays remarkable mint state preservation, graded a solid *PCGS MS64*, which places it among the finer known examples of this issue. With only 110 total specimens graded by PCGS, and merely 60 at this or higher grade levels, this piece represents a scarce opportunity for advanced gold coin collectors. The San Francisco Mint strike exhibits sharp Gobrecht design details, with lustrous golden surfaces that retain significant original mint brilliance. Struck during the Liberty Head Half Eagle series (1839-1908), this coin contains 90% gold and 10% copper, weighing 8.36 grams with a 21.65mm diameter. The original mintage of 615,900 pieces makes surviving high-grade examples like this particularly desirable. The reeded edge and crisp Christian Gobrecht design exemplify the refined craftsmanship of turn-of-the-century American coinage. Numismatic Highlights: - *PCGS MS64* grade. - Rare 1901/0-S overdate variety. - Exceptional preservation. - Limited population of high-grade examples. - Strong eye appeal and original luster.
