1865 Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS).
Delightful golden-apricot surfaces are lustrous, sharply defined and undeniably original. While the scarcity of the 1865 in Mint State is well known among double eagle enthusiasts, we stress that this issue is also among the more elusive in the Liberty Head series in circulated grades. Q. David Bowers (2004) provides an estimate of just 800 to 1,200 such pieces, most of which grade no finer than EF-45. A superior example at the assigned grade level, the coin offered here will appeal to advanced gold collectors.
