1868-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC. Wisps of pale rose mingle with dominant deep honey-gold color on both sides of this handsome, pleasingly original example. Boldly struck overall for an example of the challenging Type II Liberty Head double eagle. Consistent with other years during the 1860s, the production of double eagles at the San Francisco Mint was immense, dwarfing that of the Philadelphia facility. In 1868, some 837,500 examples were coined and most entered into the channels of commerce along the Pacific Coast, where gold was used in day-to-day transactions as freely as paper money was used back East. Many others were likely shipped overseas and melted. Today, opportunities to acquire premium quality examples at all grade levels deserve serious consideration. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS# 8954. NGC ID: 26A4. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
