- Only 9,000 eagles were struck of this date, and its rarity is well known and documented. David Akers wrote: "the 1855-S is very rare in any condition and all of the relatively few known examples grade only VF or EF. No specimen is known in uncirculated condition, and I have not seen or heard of one that was even close." Still today, after forty years, David Akers' research remains accurate; PCGS CoinFacts estimates 60-80 survive in all grades, and none are graded over AU55. It is remarkable that there was no quantity on board the S.S. Central America. The present CHOICE XF example has ample original luster clinging to the lightly worn surfaces. Wonderful, medium orange-gold hues are highlighted by the warm brilliance. Well struck, some scattered ticks and marks associated with its time in wild west commerce invoke the era in which it was produced. The eye appeal is nice for the grade and date. PCGS 14, NGC 7. It has been nearly a decade since one sold in auction. We think that this coin's rarity really does hold it back from a value perspective. A PCGS AU50 sold for $4,920 in the 2020 FUN auction. The highest grade PCGS coin to sell in auction in recent memory was an AU53 that brought $21,000 in 2018. We expect this coin will sell for a serious bid for sure! Who knows when the next one will appear for auction. PCGS # 8618.00
