The Liberty Head Eagle series was minted from 1838 to 1907 and played a significant role in American commerce during the gold rush and westward expansion. The 1859-S issue is especially prized among collectors due to its low mintage of just 7,000 coins a reflection of the early, limited production capacity of the San Francisco Mint during its formative years. These coins circulated heavily in the American West, making surviving examples in any condition highly collectible today.
