Lot Description

1884 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC. Exceptionally attractive rose-gold surfaces are fully struck with intense, billowy mint frost. The circulation strike 1884 Liberty Head eagle is a low mintage affair with just 76,860 pieces produced. This issue had long been considered a significant rarity in Mint State, until a fair number of examples turned up in European bank hoards. The number of coins involved in repatriations has been fairly limited, however, the 1884 remaining among the scarcer eagles from the 1880s in Uncirculated condition. Far finer than the typically encountered MS-61 or MS-62, this fully Choice example will please even the most discerning gold enthusiast. Provenance: From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection. PCGS Population: 1; 6 finer (MS-65 finest). CAC Population: 2; 1. The former number includes coins certified both MS-63 and MS-63+ by PCGS and NGC. PCGS# 8703. NGC ID: 266A.
