- 1855 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). Sharply defined in most areas, this Liberty Head eagle displays full frosty luster and gorgeous, original color in golden-rose. Very smooth for the assigned grade, and sure to appeal to astute gold collectors. With a mintage of 121,701 circulation strikes, the 1855 is a plentiful 1850s eagle in worn condition. Mint State survivors remain rare, however, and few possess the technical quality and eye appeal of this premium example from the Fairmont holdings. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 7; 6 finer (MS-64+ finest). PCGS# 8616. NGC ID: 263L. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
