Lot Description

1867 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-60 (PCGS). Beautiful rose-gold surfaces are highly lustrous with a bold to sharp strike from the dies. 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 Mint State example whose offering in this sale represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the astute gold collector. Rare! Provenance: From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired from Harry J. Forman, date not recorded. Earlier from Kreisberg & Cohen's Windsor Collection sale, November 1981, lot 340. PCGS Population: 2; 8 finer (MS-65 finest). PCGS# 7805. NGC ID: 25K9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
