Lot Description

1877 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). Warmly patinated in honey-rose, this minimally circulated example retains plenty of lively mint luster in a semi-prooflike finish. Boldly to sharply defined overall. With a paltry mintage of 1,632 coins, the 1877 is a key date entry in the challenging circulation strike Liberty Head quarter eagle series of 1840 to 1907. Seldom offered in Mint State, this endearing AU represents a significant find for the advanced gold enthusiast. Provenance: From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired from Harry J. Forman, November 12, 1980. Earlier ex Ben Levin. PCGS# 7826. NGC ID: 25KW. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
