Liberty Head Eagle

1897 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-65 (PCGS).

An exceptional 1897 eagle. Both sides are attractively toned in medium pinkish-orange and display softly frosted mint luster. The strike is uniformly sharp over both sides, and the surfaces are exceptionally nice for both the issue and type. While not a major rarity, the 1897 is more elusive than the truly common Liberty Head eagles such as the 1901 and 1901-S, especially at the upper reaches of Mint State. A significant find for the advanced gold type or date collector.

PCGS# 8737. NGC ID: 267D.

PCGS Population: 13; 5 finer (MS-66 finest).

Estimate: $ 4000
