- 1869-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC. This lovely piece is lustrous for the grade with modest semi-reflectivity in the fields. Vividly colored with pinkish-rose highlights to dominant honey-orange, this is an undeniably original coin. Sharply struck at most design elements, an impressively smooth appearance rounds out an outstanding list of physical attributes for this rarity. The 1869-S continues the trend for Liberty Head eagle coinage from the San Francisco Mint that began with the facility's opening in 1854 -- a limited number of coins were produced (6,430 pieces) with most succumbing to the rigors of commercial use. PCGS CoinFactsaccounts for just 60 to 75 survivors, the vast majority of which are well worn in grades such as VF and EF, often with impairments. We cannot recall handling more than one or two finer specimens than this Fairmont-JBR coin, and it is sure to sell for a very strong premium to a discerning numismatist. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 10; 22 finer, just three of which are Mint State (MS-63 finest). CAC Population: 10 in all AU grades. PCGS# 8656. NGC ID: 264S.
