Lot Description

Sharply defined in most areas, this Liberty Head eagle displays full satin to softly frosted luster and gorgeous, original golden-honey color. 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 at the BU level possess the technical quality and eye appeal of this premium example.
