Lot Description

1858-S Liberty Head Eagle. EF-40 (PCGS). A predominantly honey-gold example with light orange and rose highlights shining forth as the surfaces rotate under a light. Lustrous EF quality with bold to sharp definition to most design elements. Retaining its rarity while many contemporary San Francisco Mint gold issues have been widely represented in recent treasure ship finds and/or repatriations from foreign bank hoards, the 1858-S eagle represents a significant find at any grade level. Mintage: just 11,800 pieces. Provenance: From the Paisley Acres Collection. PCGS# 8627. NGC ID: 263Y. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
