Lot Description

1842 Liberty Head Eagle. Large Date. EF-45 (PCGS). Light khaki-gold patina blankets both sides and speaks volumes about the originality of this sharply defined and handsome Choice EF. This the more frequently encountered date logotype of the 1842 eagle, the Large Date produced to the extent of 62,884 pieces while the Small Date has a mintage of just 18,623 coins. All early Liberty Head eagles are underrated issues, however, especially in grades above the middle reaches of the numismatic grading scale, as here. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8584. NGC ID: 262M. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
