Liberty Double Eagles
1859-S $20 AU55 PCGS. Dazzling luster around the perimeter highlights the delightful pumpkin-orange patina that coats the surfaces. The peripheral details are razor-sharp, but Liberty's hair is a bit soft, as often seen. Scattered abrasions do not detract from the impressive eye appeal. The 1859-S can be challenging in high grades.
