- 1868-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC.
Handsome olive-khaki patina with intermingled iridescent rose highlights very much in evidence as the coin rotates under a light. Predominantly lustrous with a satiny finish from the dies, this boldly to sharply defined AU is sure to catch the eye of astute gold collectors. Suffering a high rate of attrition through commercial use, this 13,500-piece issue is a true condition rarity among Motto Liberty Head eagles. Even the National Numismatic Collection specimen in the Smithsonian Institution grades only VF-30 (per Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, 2008). As one of the finest certified and finest known examples, the coin offered here comes highly recommended for inclusion in an advanced collection of classic U.S. Mint gold coinage.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection.
PCGS Population: 11; 11 finer (AU-58 finest).
PCGS# 8654. NGC ID: 264P.
