1856 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC.Fully original in preservation, this satin to softly frosted example sports warm pinkish-honey patina on both sides. Sharply struck over the focal features and uncommonly smooth for both the issue and the assigned grade, this coin is sure to sell for a premium bid to a discerning gold collector. Despite a relatively limited mintage of 60,490 pieces, the 1856 is one of the more readily obtainable 1850s eagles in circulated grades. Mint State examples are another matter entirely, for they are rare and seldom encountered in todays market.From the Fairmont Collection.
