1867
Mintage: 3,140 Proof: 50
This excerpt from "The Gobrecht Eagle Quarterly", a
short-lived journal of the Liberty Eagle: "The working
dies for the Philadelphia 1867 business strike Eagle
had apparently received mastering impressions first
from the six-fold, bulged contour obverse master,
followed by an impression from the five-fold, rounded
contour obverse master. As mentioned above, both masters
certainly existed and were used that year, the six-fold
or bulged contour master for the proof 1867 Eagle issues,
and the five-fold or rounded contour master for the business
1867 San Francisco Eagles." The relevance here is that
the 'rounded bun' shows up on a Philadelphia Mint Eagle
for the first time since 1861, although the 'bulging bun'
(sixth-fold) is adjacent though in much lower relief.
