Description du lot

1853 Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). An intriguing late die state example of the popular and well known 1853/'2' Liberty Head double eagle variety. While the artifact within the lower loop of the digit 3 in the date is no longer visible, the diagnostic die chip on Liberty's headband below the letter R in LIBERTY remains clear to identify the FS-301 variety. PCGS and NGC do not recognize late die state examples without the artifact in the date as the 1853/'2' variety, though the remaining die markers make this attribution unmistakable. However, the 1853/'2' attribution is not noted on the PCGS insert. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8908. NGC ID: 268M. Click herefor certification details from PCGS.
