- 1871-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC.
This extraordinary 1871-S is intensely lustrous with subtle semi-reflectivity on an otherwise frosty finish. Beautiful honey-rose color is seen throughout with a bold to sharp strike and outstanding eye appeal. Relatively generous by the standards of the era, a mintage of 16,500 coins belies the true rarity of the 1871-S. Attrition through circulation was high and, like many San Francisco Mint eagles from the Civil War and Reconstruction eras, the 1871-S is unknown in Mint State. Of the 100 or so coins believed extant (per PCGS CoinFacts), well worn or impaired examples are the norm. As one of very few AU-53s certified, the offered coin from the extensive Fairmont holdings is tied for CC#4 for the issue. It is an extremely important offering sure to appeal to astute bidders.
