Description

1859-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-53 (NGC).
This vivid golden-honey survivor is lustrous for the grade with considerable remnants of a frosty finish readily evident as the surfaces rotate under a light. Overall sharp in detail, with light high point rub and scattered abrasions pointing to a short stint in active commerce. The 1859-S is the most readily obtainable double eagle of this date, but it is still among the scarcer San Francisco Mint issues of the Type I design. Similar in overall rarity to the 1855-S and 1860-S.
PCGS# 8928. NGC ID: 269C.

Estimate: $2500
