Spring 2019 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Remarkable Choice AU 1864 Eagle 1864 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). The surfaces of this low-mintage scarcity exhibit a rich golden-honey glow, with brighter khaki-gold tones haloing the motifs of both sides. A mild prooflike reflectivity graces the fields throughout and matches up nicely to the boldly intricate devices. No serious marks impede the viewer's enjoyment, making this an entirely attractive specimen. Abraham Lincoln had won re-election in 1864 as the Civil War continued on, now with Ulysses S. Grant at the head of the Union Army. The war continued to have an effect on coin production and a mere 3,530 eagles were struck in 1864 at Philadelphia. The coins saw immediate and heavy use, so that when this scarce issue is found, it is usually in VF condition. A top condition rarity at any AU level, even fewer are known in Mint State - perhaps half a dozen specimens, including a pair recovered from the S. S. Republic. A handsome rarity with a similarly impressive pedigree that is sure to inspire energetic bidding activity! PCGS Population: 5; 2 finer (MS-61 finest). PCGS# 8639. NGC ID: 264D.
