Tied for Finest Certified at PCGS
1897 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-66 (PCGS).
Given the softness of gold as a coinage metal and the ease with which examples struck in this composition became marked through commercial use, even otherwise common issues in the Liberty Head eagle series are (very) rare in the finest Mint State grades. This is certainly true of the circulation strike 1897 for, although a mintage slightly north of a million pieces is sufficient to make examples plentiful in an absolute sense, survivors are decidedly scarce when Choice, and rare in Gem grades. With subtle golden-blue peripheral highlights framing otherwise deep rose-orange surfaces, this beautiful coin is sure to appeal to astute gold collectors. Sharply struck with a full endowment of smooth, satiny mint luster.
