Lot Description

1883-S Liberty Head Eagle. MS-62 (NGC). Lustrous golden-orange surfaces are sharply struck with strong eye appeal at the BU grade level. The 1883-S eagle entered the annals of U.S. coinage history as a low mintage issue with just 38,000 pieces produced. Unlike many other Liberty Head issues from the 1880s, the 1883-S has not been widely represented in repatriations of classic United States Mint gold coins from foreign bank hoards. Mint State survivors remain rare, as a result, the present example numbering among the finest that we have offered in recent years. NGC Census: 16; 2 finer at this service (both MS-63). PCGS# 8702. NGC ID: 2669. Click here for certification details from NGC.
