Lot Description

1848 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-60 (NGC). Bright yellow-gold patina with a subtle reflective nature to the fields. Minor handling marks as expected, and a highly elusive issue in Mint State as most of these entered circulation and remained there until worn out or destroyed through melting. Superior eye appeal for the assigned grade. A significant condition rarity in an early Liberty Head eagle, and of further desirability since 1848 is the year that gold was discovered in California. Provenance: From the Paisley Acres Collection. NGC Census: 5; 21 finer (MS-65 finest). PCGS# 8599. NGC ID: 2633. Click here for certification details from NGC.
