Description
1843 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS).
This is one of the most appealing 1843 eagles that we have ever offered. It is a solid Choice AU survivor with a tinge of pinkish-apricot iridescence to handsome honey-orange color. Flashes of prooflike reflectivity outline many of the design elements, the texture otherwise frosty. Sharply struck with no sizeable or otherwise singularly mentionable marks. Although a seemingly available issue by 1840s Liberty Head eagle standards, the mintage of 75,462 pieces largely entered commercial channels and stayed there until the individual coins were heavily worn or lost. Only a few survivors can claim Choice AU or Mint State status today, and this newcomer to the census is one of these select rarities. A delight for the specialist.
PCGS# 8588. NGC ID: 262P.
PCGS Population: 8; 6 finer, just two of which are Mint State (MS-61 finest).
From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set.
