1860-S Liberty Head Eagle. VF-25 (PCGS). A noteworthy example of an early date San Francisco Mint gold issue that is elusive at all levels of preservation. The detail is suitably bold for the assigned grade, all major features are fully outlined and appreciable. Warm honey-orange color speaks to the coin's originality, while pretty champagne-pink iridescence adds further visual appeal. The surfaces retain appreciable remnants of frosty mint luster -- surprisingly so at the VF-25 -- and they are free of sizable or otherwise singularly distracting marks. Wispy hairlines are noted. With contemporary demand on the West Coast remaining strong for double eagles throughout the 1850s and 1860s, it is little wonder that the San Francisco Mint produced just 5,000 eagles in 1860. This is a highly elusive issue, with PCGS CoinFactsproviding an estimate of just 30 to 45 survivors in all grades. Lower circulated grades encompass most of the examples extant, although market appearances for VF and EF examples are nearly as rare as they are for higher grade pieces. This important opportunity from the Fairmont Collection's JBR Set deserves serious bidder consideration. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
