- 1874-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-53 (PCGS). CAC. Pretty rose-honey color blends with ample mint luster on both sides of this attractively original AU. Boldly to sharply defined, including a fully outlined, if a bit blunt S mintmark. Scarce in an absolute sense, the 1874-S is a leading rarity among Liberty Head eagles in Mint State. Just 10,000 pieces were produced at a time when gold coins enjoyed strong commercial demand on the West Coast and, indeed, the rigors of circulation claimed the vast majority of examples. Even circulated coins in VF and EF are scarce. With Mint State pieces all but unknown, the handful of rare, premium quality AU survivors represent the finest realistically obtainable grades for this elusive and challenging issue. Sure to see spirited competition at auction. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection-Hendricks Set. PCGS Population: 6; 11 finer, just one of which is Mint State (MS-61). CAC Population: 3; 5. All of these coins are in AU grades. PCGS# 8671. NGC ID: 2659. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
