Description
1879-S Liberty Head Eagle. MS-62+ (PCGS). CAC.
Original golden-rose surfaces are lustrous and sharply struck throughout. The 1879-S is easily the most readily obtainable San Francisco Mint eagle from the 1870s, although it is a moderately scarce issue when compared to many later dates in the Liberty Head series. The typical survivor is circulated, and Mint State pieces such as this are in the minority among survivors. This is one of the finest examples known to PCGS, a significant offering from the Fairmont Collection that is seemingly earmarked for inclusion in another advanced gold cabinet.
PCGS# 8686. NGC ID: 265R.
PCGS Population: 1; 7 finer (MS-65 finest). CAC Population: 13 in all Mint State grades.
From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
