详细说明

1860 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). This richly original example exhibits a blend of deep orange and honey-rose patina to frosty surfaces. Speckled russet highlights are confined to the left and upper obverse borders, and they further confirm the originality of this handsome coin. The Philadelphia Mint produced 577,670 circulation strikes of this denomination in 1860, or $11,553,400 face value. Q. David Bowers estimated a Mint State population of 40 to 60 different pieces when he wrote his 2004 Guide Book of Double Eaglespublished by Whitman. Since then the recovered treasure from the S.S. Republicshipwreck has yielded about 150 more coins, and a few additional pieces seem to have come to light as part of repatriations from foreign bank hoards. Even so, uncirculated 1860 double eagles remain scarce relative to the demand that such pieces enjoy among today's advanced gold collectors. PCGS Population: 14; 15 finer (MS-65 finest). PCGS# 8929.
