- Rarely Offered Choice AU 1855-S Eagle
Unknown in Mint State
1855-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS).
This remarkable condition rarity displays nearly complete luster in a lively satin to softly frosted texture. Warm honey-rose color throughout, with a bold to sharp strike and only wispy handling marks scattered about.
After a relatively generous mintage of 123,826 pieces for the 1854-S, the San Francisco Mint produced just 9,000 eagles in 1855 as the facility concentrated on double eagle coinage. Survivors are elusive in all grades, most are more heavily worn than the coin offered here, and many are also significantly impaired. With no Mint State coins known, this premium Choice AU from the Fairmont Collection represents a highly significant find for the astute collector of Liberty Head gold.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set.
PCGS Population: 3; 0 finer at this service. The finest known to NGC are graded AU-58.
PCGS# 8618. NGC ID: 263N.
