Lot Description

1845 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC. A fully original honey-gold example with bold to sharp definition to both sides. Lustrous for the assigned grade, and worthy of a solid bid. The Philadelphia Mint produced just 26,153 circulation strike eagles in 1845, survivors of which are equally as scarce as those of the 1846 and 1849-O issues. With most survivors grading no finer than Choice EF, the present example represents a fleeting bidding opportunity for the advanced collector of Liberty Head gold coinage. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS Population: 13; 20 finer, only one of which is Mint State (MS-62). PCGS# 8592. NGC ID: 262U. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
