Lot Description

1867 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS). Ample evidence of a prooflike finish remains on both sides of this smartly impressed, vivid honey-rose example. One of many underappreciated issues in the circulation strike Liberty Head quarter eagle series, the 1867 entered the annals of coinage history as a low mintage affair with just 3,200 coins produced. Few were paid out to banks, and even fewer survived eventual destruction through melting. This is a particularly fortunate survivor whose offering in this sale represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the astute gold collector. Rare! PCGS Population: 10; 10 finer (MS-65 finest). PCGS# 7805. NGC ID: 25K9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
