Lot Description

1897-S Liberty Head Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). Splendid rose-orange surfaces are exceptionally smooth for a survivor of this semi-key date issue. Both sides are sharply struck with outstanding luster quality and strong visual appeal. Thanks to the discovery of a few more coins in foreign bank hoards, the 1897-S is not as scarce as the 1896-S. Even so, this is one of the more conditionally challenging eagles from the 1890s with most examples in circulated grades. An attractive Choice Mint State coin such as this is a noteworthy rarity whose offering represents a significant opportunity for the astute gold collector. PCGS Population: 19; 7 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 8739. NGC ID: 267F. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
