Description du lot

1857-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-60 (PCGS). CAC. A fully lustrous, satin to softly frosted example of this perennially popular type issue in the early Liberty Head double eagle series. With warmer patina in a deep pinkish-honey shade, this coin has a markedly different appearance than that of most S.S. Central Americacoins, which account for the vast majority of Mint State 1857-S twenties in numismatic hands. This is obviously one of the rare Uncirculated examples that entered numismatic circles through repatriations of classic U.S. Mint gold coins from foreign bank hoards. Sure to please, and worthy of the strongest bids. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8922. NGC ID: 2696. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
