1858 Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC.

Tinges of iridescent pink on the obverse enliven otherwise deep honey surfaces on this fully original example. Trailing only the 1859, the 1858 is the second rarest Type I Liberty double eagle from the Philadelphia Mint produced during the 1850s. Given the particular elusive nature of Mint State survivors, this sharp and lustrous Choice AU is sure to catch the eye of astute bidders.

PCGS# 8923. NGC ID: 2697.

PCGS Population: 43; 31 finer (MS-64 finest)
