1851 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-60 (PCGS). CAC.

Beautiful honey-gold color with pale pinkish-rose highlights also very much in evidence. Both sides are sharply struck in general with appealing mint luster throughout. An underrated issue, as are many pre-Civil War era Liberty Head eagles, the 1851 is remarkably rare in Mint State for a Philadelphia Mint issue with a mintage of 176,328 pieces. This CAC-approved example is a particularly noteworthy find for the astute gold enthusiast.
