Lot Description

1842 Liberty Head Eagle. Large Date, Crosslet 4. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. Appealing olive-orange and medium rose surfaces are lustrous for the grade with sharp striking detail to all devices save for the obverse stars. This is the more frequently encountered date logotype of the 1842 eagle; the Large Date was produced to the extent of 62,884 pieces while the Small Date has a mintage of just 18,623 coins. All early date Liberty Head eagles are underrated issues, however, especially with the undeniable originality and superior quality offered here. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.
