1878-S Liberty Head Double Eagle, MS62
Scarce Issue in Mint State

1878-S $20 MS62 PCGS. The 1878-S Liberty Head double eagle is a high-mintage issue that has a low survival rate in high grade. The present coin is a pleasing orange-gold example, with lustrous surfaces and sharply detailed design elements. A scattering of minor abrasions on both sides is consistent with the grade. The issue is definitely scarce in MS62, and only 15 coins have been certified in higher numeric grades by PCGS and NGC combined (8/10).(Registry values: N4719)
