Owner's Description

1908 was a transition year for half eagles. Early in the year, the last Liberty Half Eagles were minted; later in the year, the Indian Half Eagle was introduced. This example has an excellent strike. There is booming frosty cartwheel luster and the underlying color is a light orange gold. Heritage 1/14: 6777.

Note: The white spot in front of Liberty’s neck is on the holder, not the coin.
