Choice 1876-S Double Eagle
Only One Coin in Higher Numeric Grade at PCGS

1876-S $20 MS64 PCGS. The 1876-S Liberty twenty enjoyed a large mintage of nearly 1.6 million pieces. Examples in lower Mint State grades are not too difficult to locate, making this date a favorite choice of type collectors seeking an example of the Type Two double eagle. Predictably, the population drops off dramatically in higher grades, with Choice specimens in the rare-very rare category, and Gems being almost unobtainable. This attractive Choice example displays pleasing greenish-gold surfaces, with hints of rose, and vibrant cartwheel mint luster. The design elements are well-detailed, and only a scattering of minor contact marks and luster grazes prevents an even higher grade. Population: 11 in 64, 1 finer (3/12).(Registry values: N7079)
