Lot Description

1878 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS). Vivid rose-honey color blends with softly frosted luster on both sides of this gorgeous Mint State eagle. Sharply struck and visually appealing. Beginning with this issue ten-dollar gold coin production at the Philadelphia Mint increased to levels not seen since before the Civil War. While the 1878 is readily obtainable by the standards of its era, it is scarce when compared to many later-date issues of the type. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set. PCGS# 8680. NGC ID: 265J. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
