Lot Description

A Second 1861-O Double Eagle 1861-O Liberty Head Double Eagle. VF-30 (PCGS). We are pleased to be offering multiple examples of this scarce and normally elusive key date New Orleans Mint gold issue in this sale. The present lot features a well balanced Choice VF with ample boldness of detail throughout the design. Warm honey-orange patina blankets surfaces that, while exhibiting the expected number of abrasions for a well circulated survivor of this issue, are largely free of singularly mentionable distractions. The persistent viewer will even discern faint remnants of original satin luster in the protected areas around the devices. Die State I with the digits in the date weakly impressed and no die crack on the obverse. PCGS# 8934. NGC ID: 269J.
