- 1897-O Liberty Head Eagle. Winter-3. MS-63 (PCGS). A gorgeous Choice Mint State example that ranks among the finer survivors of this late date New Orleans Mint gold issue. This piece is brightly lustrous with a softly frosted, golden-apricot appearance to both sides. The major design elements are crisply delineated from a sharp strike, and the surfaces are smooth enough to suggest a near-Gem classification upon first glance. The 1897-O has a mintage of just 42,500 pieces, and it is among the scarcer Motto Liberty Eagles from the New Orleans Mint. It is rarer in all grades than the 1894-O, 1895-O, 1901-O and 1906-O, among other issues, and is hardly ever offered above the BU grade level. At PCGS MS-63, the offered coin from the Fairmont holdings nearly qualifies as Condition Census. It is a beautiful coin that is surely destined for an advanced cabinet of Liberty Head eagles. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 22; 13 finer (MS-67 finest). PCGS# 8738. NGC ID: 267E. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
