- 1872 Liberty Head Eagle. EF-40 (NGC). Rich reddish-honey patina greets the viewer from both sides, the devices well defined overall and the surfaces retaining faint traces of original luster. The 1872 is a key date issue with a circulation strike mintage of only 1,620 coins. PCGS CoinFactsaccounts for only 40 to 60 survivors throughout the numismatic grading scale. Unlike many similarly elusive eagles from its era there are actually a few Mint State coins known for the 1872. Only marginally less rare are AU survivors; most extant examples are in lower grades through EF, as here. The National Numismatic Collection in the Smithsonian Institution does not include a circulation strike 1872 eagle -- further testament to the rarity of this issue. This important coin will be just right for a highly regarded collection of Liberty Head gold. PCGS# 8663. NGC ID: 264Z. Click here for certification details from NGC.
