The 1861 Liberty double eagle is one of the most popular type coins among No Motto issues, struck to the extent of more than 2.9 million coins. Prior to the discovery of the S.S. Central America and its hold of thousands of 1857-S and 1856-S double eagles, the 1861 was recognized as the most plentiful Type One issue in high grade. Nonetheless, near-Gem pieces such as this one, are conditionally scarce, and finer examples are rare.
Contrary to how the coin appears in pour images, it’s uniform in color and of the lighter yellow-gold color that shows. The PCGS population is 13 with 8 graded higher.
