1878 $10 MS64 PCGS. Production of Eagles at the Philadelphia Mint increased from 817 pieces in 1877 to 73,800 coins in 1878. Survivors of the latter issue are obtainable enough in circulated grades, but high grade Mint State representatives are few and far between. The present example from the Bass Collection is overlaid in rippling mint frost with a strike that is sharp in all areas save for the central obverse. The obverse is tinged in golden-rose color, the reverse exhibits a brighter, orange-gold appearance. As befits the assigned grade, neither side is excessively abraded, in fact, this coin is minimally marked for the grade. Population: 13 in 64, 1 finer (3/04). (PCGS# 8680)

1878 MS 64 PCGS. An uncommon date, the 1878 is a condition rarity among the later issues in the Coronet series, being especially elusive in mint state. This lovely piece is tied for finest certified with a single NGC MS 64 coin. The surfaces are truly extraordinary on this piece. Bright, satiny mint luster and fully struck throughout, the only mark that keeps this coin from the gem classification is a short one on the back of Liberty's jawline. (PCGS# 8680)

The surfaces are truly extraordinary on this piece. Bright, satiny mint luster and fully struck throughout, a few scattered marks on each side serve to limit the grade. Housed in an early PCGS holder with a green insert. Population: 5 in 63, 13 finer (7/06).

1878 $10 MS64 NGC. Many collectors perceive this as a common date, however, the 1878 Ten is an elusive issue whose survivors typically grade either VF or XF. Near-Gem representatives are as difficult to obtain as those of the lower mintage 1874. This is a scintillating example that displays rich mint frost with moderate reddish-golden patina and clean features. With a bold strike that is free of criticism, advanced gold collectors would be wise to enter carefully considered bids when this coin crosses the auction block. NGC and PCGS combined report only 20 examples in MS64 with a lone MS65 PCGS piece finer (12/04).

1878 $10 MS64 NGC. After the rarities of the 1860s and mid-1870s, mintages of Liberty Head eagles jumped exponentially in the years through 1882. While the 1878 mintage was a modest 73,780 coins--highest since 1861--by 1881 the production total jumped to more than 3.8 million pieces. The 1878 is nonetheless somewhat scarce, although Mint State examples can be located with patience. This is a beautiful near-Gem piece with deep orange-gold surfaces, exuberant luster, and considerable prooflikeness on the reverse. The bold strike completes the attractive package. NGC has certified 17 pieces in MS64 with none finer, while PCGS has graded 12 such coins, with a single piece finer (4/07). (PCGS# 8680)

1878 $10 MS64 PCGS. Ex: Bass. Production of Eagles at the Philadelphia Mint increased from 817 pieces in 1877 to 73,800 coins in 1878. Survivors of the latter issue are obtainable enough in circulated grades, but high grade Mint State representatives are few and far between. The present example from the Bass Collection is overlaid in rippling mint frost with a strike that is sharp in all areas save for the central obverse. The obverse is tinged in golden-rose color, the reverse exhibits a brighter, orange-gold appearance. As befits the assigned grade, neither side is excessively abraded, and a pair of obverse toning spots before Liberty's forehead and on the rim outside star 2 are noted as pedigree markers. Both major grading services have seen just seven coins in MS64, with a lone PCGS MS65 specimen finer (10/01).

1878 $10 MS62 PCGS. Shimmering, reddish-tinged surfaces are modestly and rather evenly abraded over both sides. The 1878 eagle is one of just a few With Motto issues struck between 1866 and 1880 that can affordably be located in Mint State. Pieces grading finer than the MS60-61 range are quite difficult nonetheless. Population: 22 in 62, 18 finer (12/04).

Auction 248 | Lot 7020 » Eagles » Liberty Eagles
1878 $10 MS 63 NGC. Ex: Bass. Since the 1878 is a relatively affordable coin through the About Uncirculated grades, it seems likely that many of the 73,800 pieces produced entered circulation. In MS 63, this issue is a major rarity with only three pieces certified with two finer at NGC (1/01). This is a vivid coin whose crimson-red surfaces shimmer with mint frost. The strike is razor sharp in all areas except over a few of the hair curls around Liberty's ear. Minimally abraded for the Select level, this coin would form the centerpiece of any Liberty eagle collection.
Purchased by Harry Bass from Douglas Weaver, September 26, 1973; Bass III (Bowers and Merena, 5/00), lot 693, where it brought $3,680. (PCGS# 8680)
