Description

1877-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS).

Continuing with the awesome quality and undeniable originality that defines the Liberty Head eagle offerings from this installment of the Fairmont Collection, this lovely AU example exhibits vivid warm honey-rose color. Sharply struck and lustrous, an otherwise softly frosted texture yields to modest semi-reflectivity in the fields. The 1877-S is a low mintage (17,000 pieces) eagle that circulated extensively in an era when gold coins enjoyed strong commercial demand on the West Cost. Problem free survivors are always in demand irrespective of numeric grade, although with Mint State coins all but unknown AUs such as this are particularly attractive to advanced gold enthusiasts.

PCGS# 8679. NGC ID: 265H.

From the Fairmont Collection - Kronen Set.
