Liberty Double Eagles
1859-S $20 Doubled Die Obverse, FS-101, AU53 NGC. CAC. Ex: Eric P. Newman Collection. This is an interesting example of a Cherrypickers' variety; The doubling is plain on LIBERTY, the profile, the eye, and the hair curls. As a date, the 1859-S is similar to most other San Francisco double eagles of the period -- available in circulated grades, but distinctly rare in Mint State, with virtually all such pieces grading no finer than MS62. Original apricot-gold overtones complement vibrant yellow-gold mint luster on each side of this eye-appealing AU example. A lack of major abrasions will be of interest to the quality-conscious collector.
Ex: Eric P. Newman Collection, Part V (Heritage, 11/2014), lot 3364.
