1855 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC.
Sharply defined in most areas, this Liberty Head eagle displays full satin to softly frosted luster and gorgeous, original color in rose-orange. Very smooth for the assigned grade, and sure to appeal to astute gold collectors. With a mintage of 121,701 circulation strikes, the 1855 is a plentiful 1850s eagle in worn condition. Mint State survivors remain rare, however, and few possess the technical quality and eye appeal of this premium example from the extensive Fairmont holdings.
