Lot 2184
1797. Large eagle. T-12, R-4. PCGS graded AU-55. Well struck. Mostly untoned with some light adjustment marks IN THE HAIR AND CAP. A few other residual marks on the portrait; an impressive lustrous coin with brilliant frost around the main devices, plus lively warm golden toning highlights. Broad rim dentils. Representative strike for the date, this year's coinage showing objectively better quality than most, with the Liberty and eagle carefully struck by the dies so that all of the main detail shows completely. A genuinely choice pleasing example for the connoisseur of early U.S. gold. 10,940 coins struck. Pop 33; 58 finer. (PCGS # 8559) .
Estimated Value $22,000 - 25,000.
