- 1859-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). Pale khaki-gold in hue, this piece shows traces of prooflike reflectivity in the fields on both sides. The wear is uniform and wholesome throughout, without any distracting blemishes or marks. An attractive and bold example. The mintage for this elusive San Francisco Mint double eagle is 636,445 coins, more than 210,000 pieces fewer than the previous year's tally at our nation's westernmost mint. Face value totaled $16,934,200. Circulated survivors number 1,200 to 1,800 coins, with many of those pieces just VF to EF, and AU examples such as this much scarcer. Provenance: From the Soberman Collection. Earlier ex our (Stack's) sale of the Robison Collection of U.S. Gold Coins, February 1979, lot 868. PCGS# 8928. NGC ID: 269C.
