- 1871 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). A beautiful and significant example of this challenging Liberty Head eagle. Light olive color mingles with dominant medium gold. The fields are flooded with intense satiny luster and the strike is exceptional with virtually all features retaining full definition. With a mintage of only 1,790 pieces, the 1871 eagle is one of a series of low production runs from the early and mid-1870s. Not long ago, it was considered unknown above the EF level, and David Akers did not know of any Uncirculated examples when writing in 1988. Today, most surviving specimens are still found below the EF level and only two MS-60 grading events are listed by the major certification services. Advanced collectors of Liberty Head gold should be prepared for determined competition for this underappreciated rarity, as only three coins have been graded finer by PCGS. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 12; 3 finer, just one of which is Mint State (MS-60). PCGS# 8660. NGC ID: 264W.
