Description

1878-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-62 (PCGS).

Frosty apricot-gold surfaces are highly lustrous with a virtually full strike from the rims to the centers. The San Francisco Mint produced 1,739,000 double eagles of this date. The mintage figure was up just 4,000 coins from the preceding year at the West Coast facility. Most examples of this issue saw use in overseas transactions. We estimate a Mint State population for this plentiful date of 800 to 1,200 pieces, perhaps a trifle more, with most examples in the MS-60 to MS-62 range, as here.

PCGS# 8987. NGC ID: 26B5.

From the Fairmont Collection - Kronen Set.
