- 1871-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-61 (PCGS). Billowy mint frost blankets both sides, the surfaces further enhanced by richly original patina in medium honey-rose. Sharply struck throughout with an uncommonly smooth appearance for the assigned grade. The mintage for this popular San Francisco Mint issue is 928,000 pieces with a total face value of $18,560,000. Some small amount of this date's mintage later found its way into foreign banking transactions. Many of the low range Uncirculated pieces known today owe their existence to the return of those exported coins to America in the mid-20th century. We estimate that 100 to 150 Mint State examples of the date can be accounted for today. Prior to the mid-20th century, as alluded to above, the 1871-S was seldom seen in the marketplace, and when encountered at all was apt to grade no finer than EF. This is one of the finer examples available to today's quality conscious gold enthusiasts. PCGS# 8962. NGC ID: 26AC. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
