- 1838 Liberty Head Eagle. VF-35 (PCGS).
Vibrant yellow-gold with deeper honey saturations, this Choice VF piece delivers superior eye appeal for this prized issue. Scattered, trivial marks appear under a glass, though the complexion is left smooth to the naked eye. Favorably preserved in all respects, handsome and unmolested survivors like this specimen are notably sparse.
The 1838 Liberty issue is the first year of issue of the new Gobrecht type, which shows a swept back curl of hair over Liberty's ear and a far more dramatic curve to her bust line above the date. These features were changed by late 1839, creating a scarce two-year type that is often under recognized for true rarity. It is likely that less than 100 examples of the 1838 Liberty eagle remain, stressing the desirability of the present attractive piece.
PCGS# 8575. NGC ID: 262D.
