1882 Liberty Head Quarter Eagle. MS-61 (NGC). CAC.Lustrous in finish, as befits a survivor of this low mintage issue, both sides also sport sharp striking detail and handsome yellow-gold patina.

This is a lovely example for the grade that would do nicely in an advanced gold cabinet.From the Maurice Snow Collection. Acquired from Harry J. Forman, October 14, 1980.
