Description
1845 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS).
Deep olive undertones backlight warm honey-orange color on both sides of this wonderfully original example. There are no significant marks, and the surfaces are remarkably smooth at the assigned grade level. Boldly defined overall with plenty of soft mint luster remaining. The Philadelphia Mint produced just 26,153 circulation strike eagles in 1845, survivors of which are equally as scarce as those of the 1846 and 1849-O issues. With most survivors grading no finer than Choice EF, the present example represents a significant bidding opportunity for the advanced collector of Liberty Head gold coinage.
PCGS# 8592. NGC ID: 262U.
PCGS Population: 6; 11 finer, just one of which is Mint State (MS-62).
From the Fairmont Collection - JBR Set.
