1869 Liberty Eagle. AU-58 (NGC).
This bright and lustrous yellow-gold specimen exhibits much prooflike reflectivity in the protected design areas. The devices are all fully rendered though softened on the very highest points by the modest wear received during a brief stint as pocket change. Scattered nicks and tiny scuffs are apparent, as should be expected for a large gold coin that spent some time in commerce. From a scant mintage for the date of 4,320 pieces, a modest figure from an era when mintages for gold coins at the Mother Mint in Philadelphia were oftentimes smaller than the production figures for that of the branch mints. We note just a solitary Mint State example of the date in the NGC online Census Report. We suspect that Uncirculated specimen currently resides in a world class eagle collection, making a pleasing AU-58 such as this probably the finest one can achieve in the numismatic marketplace today. With this in mind, we suggest you pay special attention to this piece when it crosses the auction block.
PCGS# 8655.
NGC Census: 8; 1 finer (MS-63)
