Lot Description

1845 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). Deep olive undertones backlight warm honey-gold and rose-apricot colors on both sides of this wonderfully original example. The surfaces are pleasingly smooth at the assigned grade level. Boldly defined overall with plenty of soft mint luster remaining. 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 significant bidding opportunity for the advanced collector of Liberty Head gold coinage. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 15; 17 finer, just one of which is Mint State (MS-62). PCGS# 8592. NGC ID: 262U. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
