Liberty Head Quarter Eagle

1856 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS).

Dusted with pale silvery tinting, this otherwise orange-apricot example is sharply struck in most areas with soft satin luster throughout. A mintage of 384,240 pieces defines the 1856 as one of the most plentiful Liberty Head quarter eagles from the pre-Civil War era. Indeed, circulated examples are readily obtainable in today's market. Mint State survivors, on the other hand, are decidedly scarce and much rarer than those of many late date Liberty Head quarter eagles with similar, if not lower mintages. A significant find for the astute bidder.

PCGS# 7777. NGC ID: 25J7.

Estimate: $ 1000
