Lot Description

1894-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-6. MS-62 (PCGS). A lustrous, predominantly frosty example with decided semi-reflectivity evident in the fields when the coin is viewed with direct lighting. Pretty golden-apricot color is seen throughout, and there is predominantly sharp striking detail and well preserved, nearly Choice surfaces. The 1894-O is scarce by late date New Orleans Mint eagle standards, certainly more so than a mintage of 107,500 pieces might imply. Foreign bank hoards have yielded comparatively few examples, most of which are in the lowest Mint State grades (read: MS-60 and MS-61). Given the rarity of Choice Uncirculated pieces, our offering of this premium MS-62 represents an important bidding opportunity for the discerning gold collector. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. PCGS# 8730. NGC ID: 2676. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
