1869-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-60 (PCGS). CAC.Delightful frosty surfaces are further adorned with original light rose-orange patina. Sharply struck for this challenging issue, especially in and around the centers. Double eagle production at the San Francisco Mint in 1869 amounted to 686,750 coins, for a face value of $13,735,000. David W. Akers was able to identify just 12 auction appearances of examples listed as Mint State when he wrote his double eagle reference book in 1982. Later in 2004, when Q.

The present example is one of the finest that we have offered over the years, a superior quality Brilliant Uncirculated coin that would serve as a highlight in an advanced gold cabinet.From the Fairmont Collection.
