1871-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS).

Premium quality San Francisco mint issue that displays exuberant luster for the assigned grade. Fully struck over virtually all design elements, this uncommonly smooth MS-61 is sure to sell for a strong premium. The mintage for this popular San Francisco Mint issue is 928,000 pieces with a total face value of $18,560,000. Some small amount of this date's mintage later found its way into foreign banking transactions. Many of the low range Uncirculated pieces known today owe their existence to the return of those exported coins to America in the mid-20th century. We Estimate: that 50 to 80 Mint State examples of the date can be accounted for today. This is one of the finer examples available to today's quality conscious gold enthusiasts.
