Lot Description

1845 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). Appreciably lustrous AU quality, both sides with overall sharp definition and original honey-gold patina. A few light scuffs in the left obverse field are noted. 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.
