Lot Description

1887-S Liberty Head Eagle. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC. This smartly impressed, fully defined example makes a lovely appearance due to the originality of the rose-gold patina that blankets both sides. With hundreds of low end Mint State coins found in European bank hoards in recent decades, the 1887-S is one of the more plentiful Liberty Head eagles from the 1880s. This is an uncommonly well preserved example, however, and a significant condition rarity that will appeal to advanced gold enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 3; 9 finer (MS-64+ finest). CAC Population: 11; 4. The former total includes coins certified both MS-63 and MS-63+. PCGS# 8711. NGC ID: 266J.
