Description

1878-S Double Eagle, Semiprooflike MS62
Conditionally Rare San Francisco Issue

1878-S $20 MS62 NGC. Despite a mintage of 1.7 million coins, the 1878-S is challenging in Mint State. A number of MS61 and MS62 coins have been repatriated from overseas holdings in the past three decades, but anything finer is extremely rare. Each side features a degree of semiprooflikeness, indicative of an early impression from the dies. The hair curls are sharp, as are the upper stars and the central reverse. A marvelous Uncirculated example with rich yellow-gold color and luminous luster. Census: 91 in 62 (1 in 62+), 7 finer (5/16).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26B5, PCGS# 8987, Greysheet# 9929)
