1868 Liberty Head Eagle. EF-45 (NGC).
An attractive reddish-honey example with faint traces of original luster to surfaces that are boldly defined overall. The 1868 has the highest mintage among circulation strike Philadelphia Mint eagles from the early Reconstruction era, and it is the most available date from the 1860s after only the 1861. In an absolute sense, however, all Philadelphia Mint Liberty Head eagles from 1862 through the end of that decade are scarce to rare. This pleasing Choice EF is sure to have no difficulty finding its way into a specialized gold cabinet.
PCGS# 8653. NGC ID: 264N.
From the Steven Jay Ball Collection. Earlier ex Browning Collection.
