Description

1857 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-61 (NGC).
A handsome example with undeniably original surfaces. Sharply, if not fully struck throughout with outstanding luster quality for the assigned grade. The Philadelphia Mint produced slightly more double eagles in 1857 than it did the previous year, although this issue's mintage of 439,375 circulation strikes is still modest for the era. Perhaps 60 to 80 or so different Mint State examples are extant, with nearly all in the MS-60 to MS-62 grade range. This piece is finer than most seen at the MS-61 level and would make a significant addition to an advanced collection of this perennially popular series.
PCGS# 8920. NGC ID: 2693.

Estimate: $5000
