Losbeschreibung

1857 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. Original orange-apricot color is accented with light olive undertones. Ample luster remains, the detail bold over all but a few peripheral design elements. Ten-dollar gold eagle production at the Philadelphia Mint dipped to 16,606 circulation strikes in 1857, the lowest total from this facility recorded since 1844. This issue has a higher rate of survival than many Liberty Head eagles from the 1840s, however, and the persistent collector should be able to find a suitable VF or EF. Anything finer is scarce, if not rare, confirming the significance of this lovely Choice AU offering. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set. PCGS Population: 12; 20 finer, 8 of which are Mint State (MS-62 finest). CAC Population: 12 in all AU grades. To view all items From the Fairmont Collection - CAG Set click here. PCGS# 8622.
