详细说明

1870 Liberty Head Double Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. An original and attractive example of this scarce Type II issue. Pinkish luster glows from the protected areas, accenting the overall medium-gold coloration. The obverse devices show a faint trace of handling but the complexion remains nicely composed. The 1870 is one of the more underrated Liberty Head double eagles, as are many in the early portion of the Type II series. In fact, this is one of the rarest Philadelphia Mint issues of its design type, survivors from a mintage of 155,150 pieces seldom grading finer than AU. A find for the astute gold specialist. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8957. NGC ID: 26A7. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
