Owner's Description

The ’89 half eagle is scarce in all grades and rare in high grades. There are only two coins graded MS64 and one coin graded MS67. The current example is a light orange gold with richer orange gold toning. The luster is frosty and the strike is strong except for the stars. A very pleasing example of this scarce date. Scots Auctions 7/09: 1164.
