Lot Description

1856-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). Exceptionally lustrous for the grade with overall sharp striking detail. Vivid deep honey-rose color enhances the appeal of this premium quality Choice AU eagle. A scarce to rare issue in all grades, most of the 68,000 eagles struck in the San Francisco Mint during 1856 have long since been lost to commercial use. Far finer than the typically offered survivor, which is well worn if not also impaired, this fully original and problem free near-Mint coin is sure to see spirited bidding at auction. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 25; 12 finer (MS-63 finest). CAC Population: 10; 5. PCGS# 8621. NGC ID: 263S. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
