1848 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC.An olive-khaki example with a bold to sharp strike and plenty of original satin luster. After producing a record total of 862,258 eagles in 1848, the Philadelphia Mint struck just 145,484 examples of this denomination the following year. The 1848 still ranks among the more readily obtainable issues of the No Motto design type, but it is surprisingly scarce in grades above EF relative to the mintage. This superior quality AU will appeal to advanced type collectors as well as specialists in Liberty Head gold coinage.From the Fairmont Collection.
