Description
Exceptional 1901 Liberty Head $10
1901 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-67 (NGC).
One of the absolute finest graded of this date and type and amazing quality for the specialist. The eye is greeted with blazing mint luster and rich orange-gold color when examined, and the surfaces defy the imagination. Liberty Head gold eagles were issued in large numbers, shipped about in bags and jostled with little notice during commercial use. Unlike Morgan dollars of this era which exist in superb grades for many issues, these early gold coins do not. Their soft gold composition is easy to mark up through bag handling, and even through gentle wiping with a cloth to produce hairlines. This example somehow missed virtually all signs of contact and even close scrutiny will note only a few shallow scuffs that are easily overlooked, and just as easily forgiven. Indeed, the overall quality is amazing. Rare and desirable, as such, with just a handful graded this high by NGC and none seen finer at either of the two major third party certification services.
PCGS# 8747. NGC ID: 267P.
NGC Census: 27; 0 finer. There are also no examples certified finer than MS-67 at PCGS.
