1857 Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS).A lovely example with subtle pale rose highlights on dominant honey-gold color. Sharply, if not fully struck throughout with outstanding luster for the assigned grade. The Philadelphia Mint produced slightly more double eagles in 1857 than it did the previous year, although this issues mintage of 439,375 circulation strikes is still modest for the era. Finer than most at the Choice AU level, this richly original, softly frosted example would make an impressive addition to an advanced collection of this popular series.PCGS# 8920. NGC ID: 2693.From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set.
