1858 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-60 (PCGS).
The lustrous and vivid surfaces of this coin are remarkably well preserved for this scarce, conditionally challenging Type I double eagle. The strike is sharp, the luster is intense, and the eye appeal is strong. 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 coin grading MS-60 or MS-61, as here. Very few pieces at these levels 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 - CAG Set.
