Lot Description

1900-S Liberty Head Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). OGH. A beautiful example with pale flashes of powder blue that accent the pinkish and yellow-gold patina. Nicely struck with notable prooflike tendencies in the fields. After producing a generous total of 841,000 coins in 1899, the San Francisco Mint delivered just 81,000 eagles in 1900. This is a low mintage issue whose scarcity in Mint State has so far withstood the test of time. Few examples have come out of hiding in foreign bank hoards. Here is a solidly graded Choice example with superior quality that is knocking on the door of Condition Census. Provenance: From the Dr. Paul and Rosalie Zito Collection. Acquired September 17, 1996. PCGS# 8746. NGC ID: 267N. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
