Description du lot

1868 Liberty Head Double Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS). Blooms of satiny mint luster tightly cradle the design elements, complemented by subtle traces of prooflike reflectivity on the reverse. Scattered bagmarks are visible under a glass though none are individually distracting, leaving the complexion uniform and attractive throughout. Produced to the extent of just 98,575 pieces, the 1868 is the rarest Type II Liberty double eagle from the Philadelphia Mint. Provenance: From the Soberman Collection. Earlier ex our (Stack's) sale of the Robison Collection of U.S. Gold Coins, February 1979, lot 889. PCGS# 8953. NGC ID: 26A3. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
