The January 2012 Americana Sale

详细说明: 1881-CC Liberty Eagle. MS-61 (NGC). Classic orange-gold with glittering luster in the fields. The surfaces show moderate bag handling evidence with a few nicks on the upper edge of Liberty's bust tip and cheek, while the fields display just light nicks and a few scuffs and short scratches. The mintage of 24,015 pieces generally saw heavy circulation, most were subsequently melted and all are desirable, especially so in Mint State grades. The strike is sharp throughout, with much of the original pinkish-satin surface intact in the protected areas. Diagnostic slight repunching low on the upper serif of the first 1, and with a heavy die file line running diagonally through the D of the denomination to the rim below the stop. Between both NGC and PCGS there are perhaps 80-100 pieces in Mint State-60 to 62, with 2 reported above that grade level, both as MS-64 by NGC. Impressive quality with seductive eye appeal for an early Carson City eagle.
