Liberty Eagles
1852 $10 MS60 NGC. A substantial mintage of 263,106 coins does little to tell of the importance of this piece. Gold coinage was obviously needed in commerce at the time -- silver coinage scarcely circulated -- and the average grade of survivors falls in the XF range. Mint State pieces are rarely seen. This lustrous example has sharp details with light yellow mint frost. Trivial marks on each side are consistent with the grade. Census: 8 in 60, 30 finer (6/17).
Ex: Dallas Signature (Heritage, 3/2013), lot 4298.
