Description

Centennial-Year 1876-S Double Eagle, MS62

1876-S $20 MS62 PCGS. As the present cataloger writes this description on July 4, 2008, he cannot help but reflect on the significance of the signing of that Declaration so long ago, how important and monumentally relevant it continues to be today, and how momentous that Centennial celebration on July 4, 1876, must have been. This piece is a wonderful reminder of that epochal event (and indeed a complete Centennial-year type set seems an excellent idea), with exuberant cartwheel luster emanating from the rich apricot-gold fields. This is an example of the Heavy Motto hub, one of two used during the year--see Bowers' Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins for more information. (Registry values: N2998)
