1860-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS).This is a beautiful and significant near-Mint survivor of a double eagle issue that is typically offered in lower circulated grades. Nearly full mint luster remains on both sides, the surfaces toned in vivid orange-gold patina that yields to lighter medium gold in the center of the reverse. Boldly to sharply struck with an uncommonly smooth appearance for an early date San Francisco Min twenty that saw actual, however light commercial use. Our multiple offerings of AU-58s in the present sale notwithstanding, the 1860-S is scarce in this grade.
