- High Condition Census 1860-S Liberty Head $10 1860-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55+ (PCGS). CAC. This is a premium Choice AU quality example of an early date San Francisco Mint gold issue that is elusive even in well worn condition. The detail is uncommonly sharp in a Liberty Head eagle of this era, most features are fully defined with only minimal softness of detail that is largely confined to the obverse stars. Warm honey-gold color speaks to the coin's originality, while pretty champagne-pink iridescence adds further visual appeal. The surfaces retain appreciable remnants of satiny mint luster, especially on the reverse. Exceptionally attractive for an 1860-S eagle and just right for an advanced collection of this challenging 19th century gold type. With contemporary demand on the West Coast remaining strong for double eagles throughout the 1850s and 1860s, it is little wonder that the San Francisco Mint produced just 5,000 eagles in 1860. This is a highly elusive issue, with PCGS CoinFactsproviding an estimate of just 30 to 45 survivors in all grades. Lower circulated grades encompass most of the examples extant, the rarity of this impressive Choice AU verified by CAC is enhanced by the fact that the 1860-S is all but unobtainable in Mint State. Our finest offering for the issue in recent memory, and likely a once-in-a-lifetime bidding opportunity for the collector of high grade Liberty and/or San Francisco Mint gold coinage. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 1; 5 finer, just one of which is Mint State (MS-60). CAC Population: 4; 2. The former total includes examples certified both AU-55 and AU-55+. PCGS# 8632. NGC ID: 2646. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
