- 1878 Liberty Head Eagle. AU-58 (PCGS).
Handsome yellow-gold patina blankets both sides of this sharply defined and near prooflike 1878 eagle. After years of low mintages, the Philadelphia Mint struck 73,780 circulation strike eagles in 1878. This sudden increase came in anticipation of the January 1, 1879 date that the federal government fixed for gold coins to once again be exchangeable at par with paper money, something that had not been the case since December 1861.
PCGS# 8680. NGC ID: 265J.
