1880 Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-55 (NGC).Warm golden-orange patina blankets both sides, the surfaces of which retain ample evidence of a bright prooflike finish from the dies. Boldly to sharply defined, as befits the assigned grade, with plenty of eye appeal. Our multiple offerings in this sale notwithstanding, the 1880 is one of the scarcer double eagles of its era, the mintage limited at 51,420 circulation strikes.From the Paisley Acres Collection.
