Description

Interesting 1849/8 Liberty Eagle

1849 $10 AU 50 NGC. Breen-6888. Ex: Bass. Among the more common dates from the 1840s in lower grades, the 1849 is equally as scarce as the 1847 and 1847-O above the XF 45 grade level. This is a yellow-gold coin whose surfaces display the expected amount of wear for the grade. Both sides are moderately abraded, but there are no sizeable distractions. Although not noted on the insert, this coin is an example of the 1849/8 variety, and the underdigit is plainly visible under a loupe. Breen (1988) describes this variety as "very rare." This lot includes NGC Photo Proof # 1290369-002.
