Lot Description

1842 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. An attractively original, problem free circulated survivor of an early, key date Liberty Head gold issue, and a rare and desirable coin, as such. Warm honey-gold color blankets impressively smooth surfaces that are free of al but wispy handling marks, all of which are commensurate with the assigned grade. Sharp Choice EF detail overall with plenty of visual appeal. Provenance: Newly Discovered in an Old Collection. First Ever Auction Appearance. PCGS Population: 6; 18 finer, just two of which are Mint State (MS-62 finest). CAC Population: just 10 in all grades. PCGS# 7723. NGC ID: 25GG. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
