1858 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS).,An exceptional representative of this low-mintage Philadelphia issue, the fields are considerably reflective and nicely contrast against the more frosty central elements. Bright, khaki gold hues dominate the complexion, accented by notions of richer honey-gold at the rims. Subtle traces of die polishing are visible throughout, and the devices remain sharply crafted in most areas. Overall smooth and with remarkably preserved surfaces for the assigned grade level. <p>The mintage for the date was just 211,714 pieces, down more than 227,000 pieces from the previous years tally at the Philadelphia Mint. Perhaps only 15 to 25 or so different examples of the date can be considered Mint State by todays grading standards, with the typical grade just MS-60 or marginally finer. Few pieces exist with such strong eye appeal as the present offering, and gold specialists will readily acknowledge this significant opportunity.,PCGS# 8923.
