Lost amidst all the hoopla at the recent 2020 FUN show and auctions was the sale of one of the most remarkable US gold coins I have seen in a while. This coin was a totally fresh-to-the-market 1872-CC Liberty Head eagle graded MS62 by NGC and offered as Lot 4470 in the Heritage 2020 Winter FUN sale.
After more than a decade of viewing coins, the numbers which CAC has approved are now a significant sample size. In the case of Liberty Head quarter eagles, I believe that any issue with fewer than eight pieces approved show true appearance rarity.
At Douglas Winter Numismatics, we tend to keep things pretty under the radar. This means that many fantastic US gold coins never make it onto our website and often don’t even receive any publicity.
