详细说明

The 1861-S is a very rare date in all grades, with most of the estimated 80 survivors seen in the VF and XF range. Only 15,500 eagles were struck, and unlike coins from the Philadelphia mint that were hoarded as the Civil War was raging, the gold based California economy saw these coins remain in circulation. NO Mint State coins have ever been graded by PCGS, and examples of this date come up for sale very infrequently in the marketplace. The present, moderately worn CHOICE VF has a great, original look. Olive and wheat gold surfaces are unmarred by any serious marks- remarkable for a coin with this much wear on it. For the grade, this coin possesses a great eye appeal. PCGS 6, NGC 1, CAC 2. The only CAC-approved example to sell in auction realized $6,600. Going back to 1997, our records show just four PCGS examples selling in auction in this grade, an average of 1 every 5 years---that is RARE! Cert. Number 35776998 PCGS # 8634
