Description du lot

Soft honey surfaces are originally preserved with sharp to full striking detail and lovely mint luster. The mintage for the 1858-S double eagle is 846,710 pieces, down more than 123,000 coins from the 1857-S tally. Though this issue has been represented in just about every major double eagle collection ever to cross the auction block, the typical example has been in worn condition. The 1858-S is a significant condition rarity in Mint State with only a few dozen examples known. As such, we anticipate keen interest in this premium quality Choice AU among astute double eagle collectors.
