Lot Description

1894 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC. Remarkably smooth surfaces in a survivor of this otherwise readily obtainable issue. Bathed in a blend of billowy mint frost and warm orange-gold color, both sides also offer razor sharp striking detail from the rims to the centers. As one of the two most plentiful Liberty Head eagles in numismatic circles (the other is the 1893), the 1894 is a perennial favorite among Mint State gold type collectors. Few numismatist, however, will ever have the opportunity to own a coin grading finer than the basal MS-64 level. Indeed, the vast majority of survivors from a mintage of 2,470,735 coins grade no finer than MS-63, and in MS-64+ the offered coin is a find for the discerning bidder. PCGS Population: 22; 3 finer (all MS-65). PCGS# 8729. NGC ID: 2675. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
