- 1868-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). Offered is an impressive Choice AU example of a Liberty Head eagle that is currently unknown in any Mint State grade. Handsome rose-gold patina blankets surfaces that retain much of the original satin luster. It is sharply defined over the focal features and has an appearance that is well above average for a circulated San Francisco Mint gold coin from the 1860s. Suffering a high rate of attrition through commercial use, this 13,500-piece issue is a true condition rarity among Motto Liberty Head eagles. Even the National Numismatic Collection specimen in the Smithsonian Institution grades only VF-30 (per Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth, 2008). As one of the finest certified and finest known examples, this Condition Census piece comes highly recommended for inclusion in an advanced collection of classic U.S. Mint gold coinage. Provenance: From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of the Huntington Collection, January 1994, lot 1157. Lot tag included. PCGS Population: 6; 4 finer (AU-58 finest). This issue is also unknown in Mint State at NGC. PCGS# 8654. NGC ID: 264P. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
