Among the Finest Certified 1853/'2' Eagles 1853/'2' Liberty Head Eagle. Breen-6905. MS-61 (PCGS). An impressive condition rarity for this interesting Liberty Head eagle variety. Handsome honey-rose surfaces are attractively original with full mint luster. Boldly to sharply struck throughout, the surfaces are pleasingly smooth for the assigned grade. A highlight of the extensive Liberty Head eagle offerings from the Fairmont Collection, and a coin that would serve as a focal point in even the finest gold cabinet. This variety was discovered in a 1960 auction sale. The supposed "overdate" feature is faint and can be difficult to discern by the untrained numismatist, although for those who know where to look it is sharp and clearly visible in the lower loop of the 3 on the present example. Although modern numismatic scholarship suggests that this variety is not an overdate, it remains popular with gold variety collectors. The 1853/'2' is scarce in an absolute sense and very rare in Mint State. Indeed, this outstanding Mint State example is a newcomer to the Condition Census making its first appearance in the numismatic market. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 4; with a single MS-62 finer. PCGS# 8611. NGC ID: C82G. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
