Lot Description

Even deep orange-olive in color, both sides are a bit lightly defined at the borders, but show pleasingly bold central detail for the assigned grade. Faint hairlines and a peppering of wispy circulation marks are noted for accuracy. This historic issue is the premier San Francisco Mint double eagle. Given the scarcity or rarity of AU and Mint State coins, certified EF pieces such as this are always in demand for the 1854-S.
