Description

1861-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS).

After producing 19,250 double eagles in early 1861 using the Paquet Reverse, the San Francisco Mint went on to strike an additional 768,000 examples using the pre-existing reverse by James Barton Longacre. The "regular reverse" 1861-S twenty is available in lower circulated grades but is scarce in AU and above. A partially lustrous honey-gold example with a sharp strike and only the lightest rub to the high points. The in hand appearance is uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade, further suggesting that a premium bid is in order here.

PCGS# 8935. NGC ID: 269K.

Estimate: $6000
