The 1872 gold Eagle is a key issue with a mintage of only 1,620 pieces. Despite the paltry mintage, there are a handful of Mint State pieces known for the date, unlike many similarly elusive eagles of this era. Of the estimated 40-60 survivors PCGS reports just 17 finer than the present offering. The devices are surrounded by honey-russet colors, enhancing the eye appeal and bearing witness to the originality of this coin. The overall detail remains pleasantly bold and the eye appeal is strong. A significant opportunity for the astute collector! - Liberty Head $10
