Lot Description

1860 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. Here is an impressive example of this underrated No Motto Liberty Head ten-dollar issue. Lustrous surfaces are generally frosty in texture, albeit with appreciable semi-reflectivity evident in the fields. Further adorned with vivid honey-gold and pale orange colors, bold to sharp striking detail is also of note. Similar in rarity to the 1859, and popular with collectors due to an equally limited mintage, the 1860 was produced to the extent of just 15,055 pieces. Lower grade circulated survivors are obtained with only a modicum of persistence, thus obscuring the conditionally challenging nature of this issue. At the near the Mint State level, the 1860 is a significant rarity, and this is one of the finest survivors that we have ever had the privilege of bringing to auction. Sure to sell for a very strong premium. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 12; 16 finer (MS-64 finest). CAC Population: 7 in all AU grades; 3 in all Mint State grades. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
