Lot Description

1882 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-61 (NGC). CAC. Lustrous in finish, as befits a survivor of this low mintage issue, both sides also sport sharp striking detail and handsome yellow-gold patina. Among the more desirable Philadelphia Mint Liberty Head quarter eagles, the circulation strike 1882 was produced to the extent of just 4,000 coins. This is a lovely example for the grade that would do nicely in an advanced gold cabinet. Provenance: From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired from Harry J. Forman, October 14, 1980. Earlier from Kreisberg & Cohen's Gainsborough Collection sale, September 1980, lot 1139. PCGS# 7834. NGC ID: 25L6. Click here for certification details from NGC.
