1856. NGC graded MS-64. Light gold toning. It is not all gold that glareth says Geoffrey Chaucer, the 14th century author of the Canterbury Tales, but he probably wasn't looking at this rich orange-gold 1856 Liberty quarter eagle when he said those memorable words! As we see it, when it comes to the centers of Libety and the eagle, the strike is above-average, sharp, and well defined in all areas. The luster glows, one might almost up the ante by saying that the luster "glareth" -- unlike most others of this vintage. Pop 26; 8 finer (PCGS # 7777) .
Estimated Value $2,300 - 2,400.

 
Realized $2,300
