- 1860-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. EF-45 (PCGS).
Ample evidence of a frosty mint finish remains, and both sides exhibit razor sharp to full striking detail on virtually all design elements. Handsome deep honey-gold color and superior EF preservation enhance the eye appeal for this challenging 1860-O eagle. The mintage of 11,100 pieces was released during the tumultuous months that led up to the Civil War. Each coin represented considerable buying power so not many were saved, and most exhibit moderate to considerable wear. It is estimated that no more than 10 exist that are truly Mint State, the finest of which are certified MS-63. For collectors with more realistic goals, there are also not that many examples extant in the upper ranges of EF and AU, so this example from the remarkable Fairmont holdings is certain to attract considerable attention from knowledgeable numismatists. This New Orleans Mint issue is roughly on par with the rarity of the 1846-O and 1850-O eagles.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.
PCGS# 98631. NGC ID: 2645.
