Lot Description

1853/'2' Liberty Head Eagle. Breen-6905. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. Attractive honey-gold surfaces also reveal glints of pale rose iridescence as the coin rotates under a light. Boldly defined, lustrous AU quality. This variety, discovered in a 1960 auction sale, has been delisted as an overdate but remains popular with gold variety collectors. Example with the quality and eye appeal offered here are scarce, and with Mint State coins rare we anticipate considerable competition for this coin among astute bidders. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8611. NGC ID: C82G. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
