Lot Description

1850 Liberty Head Eagle. Large Date. AU-58 (PCGS). CAC. A lustrous deep orange-gold example that is sharply struck over most design elements. The Philadelphia Mint struck 291,451 ten-dollar gold pieces in 1850 utilizing both Small Date and Large Date logotypes in the die preparation process. The Large Date is the more available variety, although the issue as a whole is conditionally challenging and exceedingly rare in Mint State. Of the three 1850 Large Date eagles in the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution, the highest graded is an AU-58. This is one of the nicest pieces that we have ever handled, and its offering in this sale represents an important opportunity for advanced gold enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set. PCGS Population: 10; 19 finer (MS-64 finest). CAC Population: 8; 4. PCGS# 8603. NGC ID: 2637. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
