1856 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.
Warm honey-orange gold color with traces of pale apricot readily evident as the surfaces dip into a light. Lustrous throughout, the central striking detail is sharp to full. Despite a relatively limited mintage of 60,490 pieces, the 1856 is one of the more readily obtainable 1850s eagles in lower circulated grades. Choice AU and Mint State examples are another matter entirely, for they are rare and seldom encountered in today's market.
PCGS# 8619. NGC ID: 263P.
CAC Stickered Population: 20 in all AU grades; 8 in all Mint State grades.
From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.

Estimate: $1000
