1848 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC.Vivid rose-gold surfaces are amply lustrous for the grade with plenty of bold to sharp striking detail remaining. Although overshadowed by its identically dated CAL. counterpart, the 1848 is a remarkably scarce issue in its own right that is actually rarer than its more famous counterpart in Mint State. The present example is an above average survivor from a mintage of just 6,500 coins that is sure to catch the eye of astute gold collectors.From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired from Harry J. Forman, April 1981.
