Thanks to a generous mintage of 653,618 coins, the 1849 Liberty Eagle is a population option for type purposes. Conditionally rare in Mint State, PCGS reports just a dozen finer than this attractive example. A blend of vivid orange-gold tones coat both sides, enhanced by luster that ranges in satiny to semi-reflective in finish with an especially bright prooflike quality to the reverse. Sharply defined throughout and highly appealing, just a handful of well scattered marks define the grade. - Liberty Head $10
