Description

1895-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-1. MS-63 (PCGS).
Handsome, fully original golden-apricot color blends with lovely mint luster on both sides of this conditionally rare example. The strike is sharp to full in virtually all areas, and the surface preservation is superior for a survivor of this challenging issue. Several sizable hoards from European banks have made the once scarce 1895-O eagle relatively obtainable in AU and lower Mint State grades. The present example is as nice as they come for a survivor of this 98,000-piece mintage, the certified populations dwindling rapidly beginning at the MS-63 level.
PCGS# 8733. NGC ID: 2679.
PCGS Population: 27; 8 finer (MS-64 finest).
From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
