1858 $20 MS (PCGS#8923)

Spring 2022 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Exquisite Choice Uncirculated 1858 $20 1858 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. The lustrous and vivid surfaces of this coin are extraordinarily well preserved in a survivor of this scarce, conditionally challenging Type I double eagle issue. The strike is sharp, luster intense, and the eye appeal is remarkable. A coin that one will need to examine in person to fully experience. The mintage for this issue was just 211,714 pieces, down more than 227,000 pieces from the previous year's tally at the Philadelphia Mint. Perhaps only 25 to 35 or so different examples of the date can be considered Mint State by today's grading standards, with the typical grade just MS-60 or marginally finer. Very few pieces exist with such superior technical quality and strong eye appeal as the present Fairmont offering, and gold specialists will readily acknowledge this significant opportunity. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 5; with a single MS-64 finer. CAC Population: 2; 1. PCGS# 8923. NGC ID: 2697. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
