- Beautiful PCGS-Certified 1857-O Double Eagle in AU 1857-O Liberty Head Double Eagle. Winter-1, the only known dies. AU-53 (PCGS). A noteworthy second offering in this sale for the normally elusive 1857-O double eagle, and for a highly desirable PCGS AU-53 coin, at that. Bathed in handsome, vivid color, both sides show uncommonly strong detail for this challenging issue. The reverse is particularly impressive for its overall boldness of detail. Scattered handling marks are commensurate with the grade for such a large size gold coin struck in the pre-Civil War New Orleans Mint, and few are singularly distracting to the unaided eye. If the NGC AU-58 in the preceding escapes your grasp, the present specimen would make an equally impressive addition to an advanced double eagle or Southern gold cabinet. See sure see spirited bidding. PCGS Population: 14; 37 finer in all categories, just five of which are Mint State (MS-63 finest). PCGS# 8921. NGC ID: 2694.
