Lot 1863
1858-S. Numistrust graded MS-63 Prooflike. Well struck with blazing semi-reflective surfaces. We note a moderate scratch from the cheek running down to Liberty's neck. This could have been mint caused. Our grade is MS60. A very appealing example. San Francisco Mint started production in 1854 and continued at a relatively high level into the 1860s and beyond striking Double Eagles from the abundant bullion being dug out of California's gold fields. This is a handsome, well made example with semi-reflective fields. The devices have a light sheen of frost on them from the dies (PCGS # 8925) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
