This brightly lustrous lemon-yellow specimen is a pleasure to behold. Frosty mint bloom brightens the protected areas of this well-struck Assay Office eagle, with the full LIBERTY on the eagle’s ribbon and other fine details the beneficiaries of the brightness. Unusually choice for the grade with only a hint of actual circulation – could this coin have been a souvenir of the great California Gold Rush, plucked from pocket change just a short time after production and kept safe by its owner, only to be lost to Mother Nature and the Atlantic Ocean on the Central America’s fateful trip? Of course, we’ll never know any of the details, but if you are the successful bidder here, there’s no telling what stories this beauty will tell you.
