1873 Liberty Head Eagle


1873 Liberty Head Eagle

Circulation Mintage: 800
Estimated Survivors: 30-35 in All Conditions
Obverse Text: 1873 | LIBERTY
Reverse Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA | IN GOD WE TRUST | TEN D.

The 1873 is the first circulation strike eagle of the Liberty design with a mintage of fewer than 1,000 coins. Only 800 pieces were produced which, when combined with a virtual lack of contemporary numismatic interest in circulation strikes of this type, resulted in one of the rarest entries in a series replete with key date issues. PCGS CoinFacts accounts for only 30 to 35 survivors in all grades, auction appearances for which are few and far between in most years.
