1876-S Liberty Eagle, AU53
Underrated, Low-Mintage Issue

1876-S $10 AU53 NGC. The 1876-S Liberty eagle claims a memorably low mintage of just 5,000 pieces and it seems no high-quality examples were saved by contemporary collectors. As a result, the issue is unknown in Mint State grades today and PCGS CoinFacts estimates the surviving population at 80-100 examples in all grades. Surprisingly, the elusive nature of the 1876-S is not widely appreciated, outside of series specialists.

This impressive AU53 specimen displays well-detailed design elements, with only light wear on the high points. The pleasing orange-gold surfaces show the expected number of minor abrasions for the grade and retain traces of their original mint luster in sheltered areas. Census: 10 in 53 (1 in 53+), 9 finer (3/25).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265E, PCGS# 8676, Greysheet# 9483)
