Description

1888-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-2. MS-61 (PCGS).

Frosty to semi-prooflike surfaces with an impressively smooth appearance for the assigned grade. Handsome medium gold color with a tinge of orange-apricot also evident. Thanks to the repatriation of a fair number of examples from foreign bank hoards, the 1888-O is one of the most available New Orleans Mint eagles in Mint State. It is still a conditionally challenging issue, however, and with so few coins certified finer than MS-62 this premium quality BU example is sure to appeal to quality conscious gold enthusiasts.

PCGS# 8713. NGC ID: 266L.

From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set.
