- Lot Description
- 1848 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). Hints of rich honey-gold color accents the vivid yellow patina. The surfaces are amply lustrous for the grade with plenty of bold to sharp striking detail remaining. Light prooflike reflectivity is noted in the reverse fields. Although overshadowed by its identically dated CAL. counterpart, the 1848 is a remarkably scarce issue in its own right that is actually rarer than its more famous counterpart in Mint State. The present example is an above average survivor from a mintage of just 6,500 coins that is sure to catch the eye of astute gold collectors. PCGS# 7748. NGC ID: 25H9.
