Low Mintage 1873 Eagle Rarity 1873 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). Close 3 date logotype, as are all known 1873 Liberty Head eagles. This is a quite sharp, minimally circulated example of a key date issue that is highly elusive even in lower grades. Most design elements retain full striking detail, in fact, and the surfaces exhibit original honey-rose color that enhances the visual appeal. Ample remnants of a semi-prooflike finish in the fields contrasts with frosty texture elsewhere. This coin offers superior quality and eye appeal that will tempt the advanced gold enthusiast. The 1873 is the first circulation strike eagle of the Liberty Head design with a mintage of fewer than 1,000 coins. Only 800 pieces were produced which, when combined with a virtual lack of contemporary numismatic interest in circulation strike gold coinage, resulted in one of the rarest dates in a series replete with key issues. PCGS CoinFactsaccounts for only 30 to 35 survivors in all grades and auction appearances are few and far between in most years. Only one Mint State coin has been certified (PCGS MS-60), and with original Choice AU preservation the present example numbers among the very finest obtainable. Extraordinary! Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 6; 5 finer, just one of which is Mint State (MS-60). PCGS# 8666. NGC ID: 2654. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
