Description
1878-S Eagle, Uncirculated Details
Better West Coast Issue
1878-S $10 -- Cleaned -- NGC Details. Unc. In his 1980
multi-volume reference to the Federal gold series, David W. Akers
wrote that "I can think of no U.S. coin of comparable rarity that
has been more ignored and lightly regarded than the 1878-S eagle."
It has a low mintage, 26,100 pieces, and is surprisingly rare in
all grades. Only a handful of pieces have been certified as Mint
State, which suggests that examples entered West Coast commerce
instead of being held as bullion in foreign bank vaults. This
apricot-gold representative is mildly bright from a cleaning, and
displays moderate marks on the cheek.
