Description du lot

1897-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Handsome pinkish-honey patina greets the viewer from both sides of this overall sharply defined example. The 1897-O is the scarcest New Orleans Mint eagle from the 1890s after only the 1899-O. A few groups of coins located in foreign bank hoards account for most of the Mint State population, such pieces remaining scarce in an absolute sense. This is a highly desirable Choice AU alternative that is sure to catch the eye of astute gold enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8738. NGC ID: 267E.
