- 1840 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). Sharply struck in and around the centers, this bright olive-gold example also offers traces of original frosty to modestly semi-reflective luster. From a mintage of 47,338 coins, the 1840 eagle is a challenging condition rarity at the AU level and above. Produced at the height of the "Hard Times" period of economic uncertainty, these coins saw heavy use in circulation as few people were financially able to save examples. David Akers noted that he had not personally seen an Uncirculated 1840 eagle. In more modern times Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth (2008) expanded on this theme when they wrote, "The 1840 eagle is an underrated date that is almost impossible to find in Mint State." For the serious student of Gobrecht's Liberty Head eagles, opportunities such as this About Uncirculated offering are worthy of serious consideration. Provenance: From the George Henry Carman Collection. Purchased from Stack's, November 1973. PCGS# 8581. NGC ID: 262G. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
