Lot Description

1880-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-62+ (PCGS). CAC. Superior Mint State preservation for this scarce and conditionally challenging Type III Liberty Head double eagle issue. Both sides are bathed in a handsome blend of rose-gold patina and frosty mint luster. Fully struck and nearly in the Choice Mint State category. With most Uncirculated survivors of the underrated 1880-S grading no finer than the basal MS-62 level, this uncommonly well preserved survivor is sure to have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced double eagle set. PCGS Population: 1; 19 finer (MS-65+ finest). PCGS# 8993. NGC ID: 26BB. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
