Lot Description

Boldly defined in most areas, this Liberty Head eagle displays full satin to softly frosted luster and gorgeous, original color in medium orange-gold. 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, while only marginally less so are premium Choice AUs such as this Fairmont Collection offering. This beautifully original specimen is worthy of serious bidder consideration.
