Lot Description

1896-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Lustrous Choice AU quality with satin to softly frosted surfaces, sharp striking detail and pleasing rose-orange patina. The 1896-S is the most frequently encountered of the three scarce, conditionally challenging San Francisco Mint eagles of the 1894 to 1896 era, although it is still an elusive issue when viewed in the wider context of the late date Liberty Head series. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8736. NGC ID: 267C. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
