- Among the Finest PCGS-Certified 1871-S Eagles 1871-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. One of numerous offerings from the current installment of the Fairmont Collection that very likely represents a once-in-a-lifetime bidding opportunity for the advanced Liberty Head eagle collector. This extraordinary 1871-S is intensely lustrous with subtle semi-reflective qualities to an otherwise frosty finish. Beautiful honey-rose color is seen throughout with a bold to sharp strike and outstanding eye appeal. Relatively generous by the standards of the era, a mintage of 16,500 coins belies the true rarity of the 1871-S. Attrition through circulation was high and, like many San Francisco Mint eagles from the Civil War and Reconstruction eras, the 1871-S is unknown in Mint State. Of the 100 or so coins believed extant (per PCGS CoinFacts), well worn or impaired examples are the norm. As one of very few AU-55s certified, the offered coin from the extensive Fairmont holdings is tied for CC#3 for the issue. It is an extremely important offering sure to appeal to astute bidders. Provenance: From the Fairmont Collection - CBL Set. PCGS Population: 7; 3 finer (AU-58 finest). There are also no Mint State examples listed at NGC. CAC Population: 7; 0. PCGS# 8662. NGC ID: 264Y.
