Lot Description

1888-S Liberty Head Eagle. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC. Original rose-gold surfaces are sharply defined with a full quota of softly frosted luster. A relatively common issue by 1880s Liberty Head eagle standards, the 1888-S is obtainable with ease in grades through MS-62 thanks to the discovery of many examples in foreign bank hoards. Few Choice Uncirculated pieces have come to light, however, confirming the conditionally rare status of this beautiful coin. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS Population: 10; 5 finer (all MS-64). PCGS# 8714. NGC ID: 266M. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
