1857 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.

Original deep orange-honey color is accented with light apricot overtones. Ample luster remains, the detail bold over all but a few peripheral design elements. Ten-dollar gold eagle production at the Philadelphia Mint dipped to 16,606 circulation strikes in 1857, the lowest total from this facility recorded since 1844. This issue has a higher rate of survival than many Liberty Head eagles from the 1840s, however, and the persistent collector should be able to find a suitable VF or EF. Anything finer is scarce, if not rare, confirming the significance of this lovely Choice AU offering.

PCGS# 8622. NGC ID: 263T.
