Lot Description

1897-S Liberty Head Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). Delightful light rose surfaces are also possessed of sharp striking detail and intense mint luster. Thanks to the discovery of a few more coins in foreign bank hoards, the 1897-S is not as scarce as the 1896-S. Even so, this is one of the more conditionally challenging eagles from the 1890s with most examples in circulated grades. An attractive Mint State coin such as this represents a significant find for the astute gold collector. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS Population: 48; 63 finer (MS-66 finest). PCGS# 8739. NGC ID: 267F. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
