- Landmark Choice AU 1876-S Eagle
1876-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC.
Ranking high in the Condition Census for this extremely challenging issue, this is one of the finest 1876-S eagles that we have ever offered. It is a beautiful, undeniably original coin dressed in deep, rich, honey-gold and reddish-rose colors. Universally sharp in strike with nearly complete 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, fully original Choice AU such as this could very well be a once-in-a-lifetime event for the advanced gold enthusiast. An aggressive bidding strategy is in order here.
Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set.
PCGS Population: 10; with a single AU-55+ finer at this service. There are also no Mint State coins listed at NGC.
