1862-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-53 (NGC).An original honey-gold example with appreciable mint luster in the protected areas around many of the devices. From a mintage of 854,173 pieces, most of which saw extensive commercial use on the West Coast during an era when gold coins did not circulate in the East or Midwest. This handsome AU is finer than the typically encountered VF or EF survivor in numismatic circles.From the Paisley Acres Collection. Earlier ex Granite Lady Hoard.
