Product Details: Own a magnificent United States gold coin with a provenance that elevates it to the highest echelon of collecting: the 1849 Liberty Head Gold Half Eagle from the legendary Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection, officially graded NGC MS 61. This is more than a coin; it is a tangible asset and a piece of the world-renowned numismatic legacy assembled by one of the most prominent collectors of all time. This coin is certified in Mint State 61, a grade that denotes a first-year-of-issue uncirculated coin. While MS 61 coins may show minor signs of contact from the minting and bagging process—such as scattered abrasions or light hairlines—they retain their original mint luster. For an early date like 1849, an MS 61 is a highly respectable grade, especially as this era's coinage often saw less meticulous handling. The inclusion of the Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection pedigree connects you to one of the most storied collections in American numismatics, often increasing its desirability and long-term value. The year 1849 is a pivotal moment in American history, representing the immediate aftermath of the initial discovery of gold in California, an event that fueled the nation's expansion and dramatically increased the need for gold coinage. The Philadelphia Mint's production of the Half Eagle in this year directly connects this coin to the burgeoning Gold Rush era. Add this historically significant, pedigreed 1849 Liberty Head Gold Half Eagle to your collection today and secure a piece of America's golden past!
