1859-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. This fully original example is bathed in warm golden-apricot color with glints of pale rose iridescence evident as the surfaces dip into a light. A boldly struck coin with nearly full luster. The mintage for the 1859-S double eagle was down more than 200,000 pieces from the tally of the previous year. The high grade rarity of this issue is nearly unknown outside of the field of specialized double eagle collectors for the 1859-S has not been represented in any significant hoards, either shipwreck treasures or repatriations from foreign holdings. While the S.S. Republicdid yield 67 1859-S double eagles, only one of those coins has been designated as Mint State. Choice About Uncirculated examples are also scarce, which fact confirms the fleeting bidding opportunity that this offering represents. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS# 8928. NGC ID: 269C. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
