- 1839/8 Liberty Head Eagle. Type of 1838, Large Letters. EF-40 (PCGS). CAC.
This lovely example exhibits subtle orange-apricot highlights on dominant honey-olive color. Traces of luster in a softly frosted texture are noted. Boldly defined throughout the focal points, with fully original surfaces. The 1839 Type of 1838 eagle is a very scarce coin in all grades, with perhaps just under 250 examples known, the vast majority of which are well circulated. While just a hair more available than the first year of issue, there is quite a bit of competition between type collectors and classic period gold specialists when an example appears for sale, regardless of condition. As an upper end EF-40 with superior quality and eye appeal, this specimen will attract significant attention from numismatists of all stripes.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - Rhone Set.
CAC Stickered Population: 18 in all grades.
PCGS# 8576. NGC ID: 262E.
