1855-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.Billowy mint luster and sharp to full striking detail give the appearance that this coin is conservatively graded at the AU-55 level. Fully original in pinkish-gold patina, as well, this is a premium quality example that is worthy of the strongest bids. The San Francisco Mint struck 879,675 double eagles in 1855 with a face value of $17,593,500. The years production of double eagles went into high gear at the West Coast facility owing to the continuing influx of gold from the regions gold fields. The mintage of the 1855-S, in fact, is more than six times that of the preceding freshman year, 1854, when the San Francisco Mint was getting started and gaining speed. However, most examples of this issue were used in commerce on the West Coast and very few remain in high grades, as here.From the Fairmont Collection.
