- 1851 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-60 (PCGS). CAC. Beautiful honey-gold color with pale pinkish-rose highlights also very much in evidence. Both sides are sharply struck in general with appealing mint luster throughout. An underrated issue, as are many pre-Civil War era Liberty Head eagles, the 1851 is remarkably rare in Mint State for a Philadelphia Mint issue with a mintage of 176,328 pieces. This CAC-approved example is a particularly noteworthy find for the astute gold enthusiast. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 3; 19 finer (MS-64 finest). CAC Population: 1; 3. PCGS# 8606. NGC ID: 263A. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
