Lot Description

1859-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. FS-101. Doubled Die Obverse. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. A handsome honey-gold example with suitably bold detail for the assigned grade. Appreciable luster remains, further enhancing this coin's appeal. Light doubling is noted at the profile, with bolder doubling evident on the letters in the word LIBERTY. This conditionally challenging issue is moderately elusive in AU, as here, and choice original pieces such as this are always in strong demand. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# V8928. NGC ID: 269C. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
