Lot Description

1855 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-60 (PCGS). Sharply defined in most areas, this Liberty Head eagle displays full satin to softly frosted luster and gorgeous, original color in medium gold. Very smooth for the assigned grade, and sure to appeal to astute gold collectors. With a mintage of 121,701 circulation strikes, the 1855 is a plentiful 1850s eagle in worn condition. Mint State survivors remain rare, however, and few possess the technical quality and eye appeal of this premium example from the Fairmont Collection. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 4; 31 finer (MS-64+ finest). PCGS# 8616. NGC ID: 263L. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
