Description

1878 Eagle, MS64
Low-Mintage Condition Rarity

1878 $10 MS64 PCGS. An important condition rarity in the Liberty eagle series from a mintage of 73,780 coins, this 1878 ranks near the top of the Condition Census. Less than 10 near-Gem specimens are PCGS-certified, and the number of different pieces is smaller yet. This beauty has brilliant light yellow surfaces with frosty luster and only a few trivial copper toning spots on each side. Minuscule marks in the fields prevent a higher grade. Splashes of violet-blue toning appear below the bust and along part of the reverse border. Population: 9 in 64, 1 finer (3/13).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 265J, PCGS# 8680, Greysheet# 9399)

Weight: 16.72 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
