Description
Landmark AU 1876-S Eagle
Unknown in Mint State
1876-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS).
Ranking in the Condition Census for this extremely challenging issue, this is one of the finest certified 1876-S eagles that we have offered in recent years. It is a visually pleasing coin dressed in deep, rich, honey-gold color with a tinge of pale pink. Universally sharp in strike with traces of mint luster remaining on both sides. With only 5,000 coins struck, the 1876-S eagle has the second lowest mintage of the San Francisco Mint Liberty Head eagles. Unknown in Mint State, this issue is scarce to rare in all circulated grades with an extant population of just 80 to 100 coins (per PCGS CoinFacts ). Most survivors are in VF and EF grades, typical of the era, and many examples throughout the numismatic grading scale are impaired for one reason or another. Finding a problem free AU such as this could very well be a once-in-a-lifetime event for the advanced gold enthusiast
PCGS# 8676. NGC ID: 265E.
PCGS Population: 8; 11 finer (AU-58 finest).
