1872-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.

A sharply struck and lustrous Choice AU with a delightful softly frosted texture to the finish. Vivid rose-gold color provides further eye appeal and confirms this coin's originality. Despite being one of the more common Liberty Head eagles from the 1870s, the 1872-S is scarce in an absolute sense and rare in grades above EF. With so few Mint State coins certified (just two, in fact: PCGS MS-61 and NGC MS-61) this attractively original, CAC-approved Choice AU represents the finest in quality for the issue that most collectors can realistically hope to acquire.

PCGS# 8665. NGC ID: 2653.

PCGS Population: 10; 9 finer, with an MS-61 the only Mint State listing. CAC Population: 2; 2.

From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set.

Estimate: $ 5000
