Lot Description

1894-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-6. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. A lustrous, predominantly frosty example with decided semi-reflectivity evident in the fields when the coin is viewed with direct lighting. Pretty deep gold color is seen throughout, and there is razor sharp striking detail and well preserved, fully Choice surfaces. The 1894-O is scarce by late date New Orleans Mint eagle standards, certainly more so than a mintage of 107,500 pieces might imply. Foreign bank hoards have yielded comparatively few examples, most of which are in the lowest Mint State grades (read: MS-60 and MS-61). Given the rarity of Choice Uncirculated pieces, our offering of this premium MS-63 with CAC approval represent an important bidding opportunity for the discerning gold collector. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 18; 3 finer (MS-64 finest). CAC Population: 5; 0. PCGS# 8730. NGC ID: 2676. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
