- Captivating rose-honey surfaces are undeniably original and thoroughly PQ for both the issue and the assigned grade. They are near-fully lustrous with a lovely, frosty texture that displays only a few trivial marks. Boldly to sharply struck overall with plenty of eye appeal.<p>The 1870-S is one of many unsung rarities in the Liberty Head eagle series, with just 8,000 pieces produced. As with all San Francisco Mint eagles of the Civil War and Reconstruction eras, the 1870-S circulated extensively and suffered a correspondingly high rate of attrition. Of the 80 to 100 survivors accounted for at <em>PCGS CoinFacts</em>, most grade no finer than VF. The Eliasberg-Bass specimen is unique in Mint State (PCGS MS-61); it has not been approved by CAC as of this writing. The Fairmont-JBR specimen offered here is the highest graded examples stickered by CAC. It is a high Condition Census example that represents a significant find for the advanced gold enthusiast.
