- 1871 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS).
A beautiful and historic example of this rare issue. Subtle pinkish color accents the overall yellow-gold patina. The fields are flooded with intense satiny luster and the strike is exceptional for the issue. A shallow mark above the denomination on the reverse serves as a convenient pedigree tracer. With a mintage of only 1,790 pieces, the 1871 eagle is one of a series of low production runs from the 1870s. Not long ago, it was considered unknown above the EF level, and David Akers did not know of any Uncirculated examples when writing in 1988. Today, most surviving specimens are still found below the EF level and only a single MS-60 example has been certified by either service. Advanced collectors of Liberty Head gold should be prepared for determined competition for this under-appreciated rarity, as only 8 coins have been graded finer by PCGS.
PCGS Population: 11; 8 finer through MS-60.
PCGS# 8660. NGC ID: 264W.
