1854-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS).Lustrous and satiny, this pretty golden-rose example also sports original surfaces and sharp to full striking detail. The 1854-S is the first San Francisco Mint issue in the eagle series, the mintage amounting to just 123,826 pieces. Fortunately for todays collectors an unusually large percentage of the coins struck have survived, allowing many numismatists to obtain an example of this historically significant issue. Mint State coins remains exceedingly rare, nonetheless, which should result in particularly strong demand for this inviting Choice AU.From the Fairmont Collection.
