Description
Very Rare 1867 Eagle
Only 75-100 Known in All Grades
1867 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). OGH.
An incredibly rare, low mintage date, one of only 3,090 struck for circulation, and a mere 75-100 are thought to survive in all grades. David Akers noted that the 1867 is comparable to the 1864 and 1865 in terms of both overall and condition rarity. Despite some light wear, the reverse retains a boldly reflective brilliance in the fields. Only a couple of superficial traces of contact are noted for the sake of full disclosure, but are appropriate for a coin that spent a little time in commercial channels. Rich orange gold patina blends with lighter lemon-yellow. Both sides retain bold detail clearly this coin had been struck by a precision blow from the dies before it went into circulation during the turbulent Reconstruction era economy following the end of the Civil War. A very important opportunity for the advanced collector, this is a very challenging date to acquire in any grade, let alone a high end AU like the one offered here.
PCGS# 8651. NGC ID: 264L.
PCGS Population: 10; 23 finer (MS-62 finest).
