Lot Description

1857-S Liberty Head Eagle. EF-45 (NGC). CAC. This richly original honey-olive and orange-gold example is boldly to sharply defined in most areas with glints of frosty mint luster shining forth nicely as the surfaces rotate under a light. From a limited mintage of 26,000 pieces, survivors of which are scarce in an absolute sense and rare any finer than offered here. Premium quality for the assigned grade, and sure to see spirited bidding among advanced collectors of Liberty Head and/or San Francisco Mint gold coinage. Provenance: From the Kohler Wisconsin Collection. CAC Population: 18 in all EF and AU grades combined. PCGS# 8624. NGC ID: 263V. Click here for certification details from NGC.
