Lot Description

1888 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). Faintly prooflike in finish, this lustrous example is also sharply struck from the dies. Pretty light pinkish-honey patina throughout, a faint spot at the eagle's beak is mentioned for accuracy. This is a superior quality MS-61 to represent an underrated Philadelphia Mint eagle from the 1880s. From a mintage of 132,921 circulation strikes, comparatively few of which have survived as part of foreign bank hoards. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS# 8712. NGC ID: 266K.
