1851 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC.Hard satiny surfaces are fully original in a blanket of warm medium gold patina. The strike is sharp throughout and the eye appeal is uncommonly strong at the BU grade level. Our multiple offerings for such pieces in this sale notwithstanding, the 1851 is a scarce to rare double eagle in all Mint State grades. In MS-61, it is difficult for us to imagine a more endearing coin than that in the present lot.From the Fairmont Collection.
