Lot Description

1897-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-3. AU-58 (PCGS). An attractively original piece awash in a blend of rich honey-rose patina and nearly full mint luster. The focal features are sharply struck. The 1897-O is the scarcest New Orleans Mint eagle from the 1890s after only the 1899-O. A few groups of coins located in foreign bank hoards account for most of the Mint State population, such pieces remaining scarce in an absolute sense. This is a highly desirable Choice AU alternative that is sure to catch the eye of astute gold enthusiasts. PCGS# 8738. NGC ID: 267E. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
