1878 Liberty Head Eagle. MS-63+ (PCGS). CAC.Vivid rose-gold patina blends with softly frosted luster on both sides of this gorgeous Choice Mint State eagle. Sharply struck from the dies and among the finest examples known to the major certification services. Beginning with this issue ten-dollar gold coin production at the Philadelphia Mint increased to levels not seen since before the Civil War. While the 1878 is readily obtainable by the standards of its era, it is scarce when compared to many later-date issues of the type, especially in Uncirculated condition. A fleeting bidding opportunity for the advanced collector specializing in the challenging Liberty Head eagle series.From the Fairmont Collection.
