- 1881 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-64+ (PCGS). CAC. With full mint luster, a razor sharp strike and premium Choice Uncirculated preservation, this beautiful example ranks among the finest certified 1881 eagles available to today's discerning gold enthusiasts. With a generous mintage of 3,877,220 circulation strikes, the 1881 was produced in greater numbers than any other Liberty Head eagle. It also boasts the second highest mintage of any ten-dollar gold issue from 1795 to 1933 (only the 1932 Indian has a higher mintage of 4,463,000 circulation strikes). Thousands of examples were exported and subsequently repatriated from European bank hoards, accounting for the majority of Mint State coins in today's market. The typical Mint State 1881 eagle is heavily abraded from overseas transport, however, and even coins in MS-64 can be challenging to locate. This premium quality MS-64+ is solidly in the Condition Census, and it would do justice to the finest gold cabinet. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection. PCGS Population: just 6; with a single MS-65 finer. PCGS# 8691. NGC ID: 265W. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
