- Condition Census 1859-S Liberty Head Eagle 1859-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). Evenly toned with attractive rose-orange patina, this important coin offers uncommonly sharp definition for a surviving 1859-S eagle and generous original luster, particularly in the protected areas. The centers are boldly impressed from the dies, and minor softness of detail toward the borders is commonplace for many Liberty eagle issues from the 1850s. Satiny in texture and uncommonly distraction-free for the grade. Only 7,000 eagles were struck in this year as the San Francisco Mint continued to strike far more double eagles. Most of these eagles entered circulation unnoticed, leaving collectors to find out years later how truly rare any example of this issue is in numismatic hands. High grade pieces are especially rare, and only a single Mint State piece has been certified, a lone MS-60 by NGC. PCGS Registry Set collectors should take note, as there are no finer examples at PCGS to best this exceptional AU-55. An important eagle worthy of inclusion in the finest set. PCGS Population: 3; none finer. PCGS# 8630. NGC ID: 2643. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
