1865-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.Vivid reddish-rose and honey-gold patina blends seamlessly over both sides of this wonderfully original example. Much of the original luster remains, sharp to full striking detail further confirming the validity of the desirable AU-58 grade from PCGS. The mintage for this issue is 1,042,500 pieces ($20,850,000 in face value), one of the largest production figures for the denomination during the Civil War and Reconstruction eras. These circulated freely on the West Coast, where most became well-worn in a relatively short time. This solidly graded, uncommonly smooth and original Choice AU would make an impressive addition to an advanced double eagle set. PQ!From the Fairmont Collection.
