Lot Description

1887 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). This is a fully lustrous example whose otherwise satin surfaces reveal lively semi-reflective tendencies in the fields as the coin dips into a light. Boldly and originally patinated, a razor sharp strike further enhances this coin's already memorable appearance. With a limited mintage of 53,600 circulation strikes and relatively few examples discovered in repatriations of classic U.S. Mint gold coins from foreign bank hoards, the 1887 is scarce to rare in all Mint State grades. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS Population: 29; 37 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 8710. NGC ID: 266H. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
