- 1856 Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. This is a handsome, fully original example with blended pinkish-rose highlights to dominant honey-orange patina. Sharply defined throughout with appreciable luster remaining, there is much to recommend this coin to the discerning double eagle enthusiast. From a modest mintage of 329,878 circulation strikes, survivors of which are scarce and generally grade no finer than EF. The 1856 is one of the more underrated Liberty Head double eagles from the 1850s, the issue not widely represented in treasure ship finds such as those of the S.S. Central Americaand S.S. Republic. Mint State coins are rare, and Choice AUs with the originality and eye appeal offered here are nearly as elusive. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8917. NGC ID: 268Y.
