Description du lot

1858-S Liberty Head Eagle. VF-35 (PCGS). Warmly patinated in honey-orange and medium rose, this attractive Choice VF example displays faint traces of original luster and is boldly defined for the VF grade. While many contemporary San Francisco Mint gold issues have been widely represented in recent treasure ship finds and/or repatriations from foreign bank hoards, the 1858-S eagle has retained its rarity and represents a significant find at any grade level. As of this writing, neither PCGS nor NGC reports a single grading event for a Mint State survivor. Mintage: just 11,800 pieces. Provenance: From the Steve Studer Collection. PCGS# 8627. NGC ID: 263Y.
