Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Sharp and Vivid 1871-S $20 Gold Rare MS-62 PCGS Grade 1871-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). Delightful satin to frosty surfaces are enhanced by vivid, original mint color in golden-apricot. Sharply struck in most areas with nicely preserved surfaces that border on a higher grade. The mintage for this popular San Francisco Mint issue is 928,000 pieces, some small amount of which later found its way into foreign banking transactions. Many of the low range Uncirculated pieces known today owe their existence to the return of those exported coins to America in the mid 20th century. We estimate that 100 to 150 Mint State examples of the date can be accounted for today. Prior to the mid 20th century, as alluded to above, the 1871-S was seldom seen in the marketplace, and when encountered at all was apt to grade no finer than EF. This newcomer to the market from the extensive Fairmont holdings is not only fully Mint State, but nearly Choice, ranking it within the lower reaches of Condition Census for the issue. It is one of the finest examples available to today's gold enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set. To view all items From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set click here.
