Losbeschreibung

1861-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-55 (NGC). Light khaki-gold covers the relatively smooth surfaces of this lightly circulated double eagle with boldly defined devices and strong eye appeal. The San Francisco Mint was able to produce 768,000 double eagles despite the war in the eastern half of the nation. Like most gold coins from this mint, most are found well circulated and are increasingly scarce above AU. Groups from the S. S. Brother Jonathan and the S. S. Republic have bolstered the number of known higher grade examples somewhat, the issue remains challenging. PCGS# 8935. NGC ID: 269K. Click here for certification details from NGC.
