Extremely Fine or better. Charming, green-gold surfaces define this wonderful specimen of this first New Orleans issued Liberty Head Eagle.

A single severe surface mark fortunately remains well hidden at Miss Liberty's...  more

- bordering on a Choice designation. Here is a very high quality survivor of this magical Gold Rush year. Cartwheel lustre is quite flashy and borders on a prooflike quality on this brilliant yellow-gold specimen.

1856'O' Choice About Uncirculated. Here is a fully lustrous specimen boasting semi-prooflike flash...
Choice About Uncirculated. Here is a fully lustrous specimen boasting semi-prooflike flash at the edges of the devices and legends.

Glowing copper-orange...  more

1866'S' No Motto. Extremely Fine. Deep coppery-gold toning highlights the crisp devices on this attractive...
Extremely Fine. Deep coppery-gold toning highlights the crisp devices on this attractive example of a scarce and desirable San Francisco date.
