Lot Description

1876 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). This modestly semi-prooflike example exhibits faintly reflective fields and satiny, boldly to sharply struck design elements. A rare and significant Mint State survivor from a paltry mintage of only 4,176 pieces struck during the United States' Centennial year. Many years ago David W. Akers wrote of this rare issue: "A look at the auction data from our 226 catalog auction survey may surprise some people. There is only one auction record for this date in Uncirculated condition, making the 1876 one of the rarest dates in the entire series in Mint State." Sure to sell for a strong bid to an astute gold collector. PCGS Population: 5; 3 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 7824. NGC ID: 25KU. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
