- 1876-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). Lively mint luster swirls around handsome golden-rose surfaces on both sides of this boldly struck, exceptionally well preserved example. The mintage for this plentiful San Francisco Mint issue is 1,597,000 pieces, up more than 250,000 pieces from the previous year's total at the West Coast facility. Many were exported, beginning in a significant way in 1879. We estimate a Mint State population for the 1876-S of 2,000 to 3,000 pieces, if not more. Most of these are at MS-60 to MS-61, though MS-62 pieces can be found with patience. Beginning at the MS-63 level your chances of obtaining a specimen thin dramatically despite the certified population reports. A very scarce coin in an absolute sense, and quite rare from a market availability standpoint, this impressive MS-63 represents a significant find for the quality conscious gold enthusiast. PCGS# 8978. NGC ID: 26AX. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
