- 1879 Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-61 PL (NGC). An exceptionally attractive example of this conditionally challenging Philadelphia Mint double eagle issue. Vivid rose-gold surfaces are sharply struck throughout with intense reflectivity in the fields that readily upholds the validity of the PL designation from NGC. A rarity in earlier times, the 1879 remains surprisingly scarce in Mint State despite the repatriation of examples from foreign bank hoards in recent decades. The number of coins involved in these finds has been limited, however, and we believe that no more than 300 or so Uncirculated examples can be traced in numismatic circles. NGC Census: 5; 2 finer in this category (MS-63 PL finest). PCGS# 8988. NGC ID: 26B6. Click here for certification details from NGC.
