1842 Liberty Head Eagle. Large Date. AU-50 (PCGS).Handsome honey-gold patina blankets both sides of this sharply defined, appreciably lustrous AU. This the more frequently encountered date logotype of the 1842 eagle, the Large Date produced to the extent of 62,884 pieces while the Small Date has a mintage of just 18,623 coins. All early Liberty Head eagles are underrated issues, however, especially in grades above Choice EF, as here.From the Fairmont Collection.
