1876-S Double Eagle, Well-Struck MS64

1876-S $20 MS64 PCGS. Despite the production approaching 1.6 million double eagles at San Francisco in 1876, only 25 examples are certified MS64 at PCGS and NGC, and the two grading services have only graded three finer pieces. The average certified grade is slightly below AU58.

This example has the date shifted right, with the J in J.B.L. over the left edge of the 8. The reverse has the mintmark centered over the left edge of the second T in TWENTY, and tilted slightly to the left. Light die striations are visible on the reverse. This Choice Mint State double eagle has frosty yellow-gold luster with trivial grade-limiting marks. The design elements are well-impressed. Population: 14 in 64 (1 in 64+), 1 finer (11/14).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26AX, PCGS# 8978, Greysheet# 9925)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
