Lot 2018
1855-S. NGC graded XF Details, Improperly Cleaned. A scarce date in all grades, undoubtedly due to the low mintage of just 9,000 pieces. This is a paltry number when compared to the immense issue of double eagles produced. Examination finds the usual moderate handling marks on the surfaces, as these circulated hard in the California Gold Rush. Despite a long ago cleaning, the eye appeal make this a desirable coin. Perhaps only 60 to 80 examples exist today of this date and mint (PCGS # 8618) .
Estimated Value $1,800 - 1,900.
