Lot Description

1851-O Liberty Head Double Eagle. Winter-2. AU-55 (NGC). S.S. Republic Label. 1851-O double eagles were recovered from both the S.S. Central America(sunk 1857) and S.S. Republic(sunk 1865), but the issue remains scarce, especially relative to high demand from New Orleans type collectors. This partly lustrous, pale green-gold example is well defined and shows only one reportable mark on Liberty's cheek. Well defined and featuring a very interesting history. Provenance: Ex S.S. Republic. PCGS# 8905. NGC ID: 268J. Click here for certification details from NGC.
