Liberty Double Eagles
1878-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Mike Fuljenz, writing in Type Three Double Eagles 1877-1907, notes: "Today, the 1878-S is often available in MS60 to MS61 and scarce in MS62. In properly graded MS63, this remains a rare issue with probably fewer than twenty known." This sharply detailed S-mint double eagle has a semiprooflike yellow-gold obverse, while the reverse is lustrous with rose-gold coloration. Abrasions are peppered over each side. There are 12 numerically finer submissions at PCGS (11/17).
