3372- 1878-S $10 Liberty NGC MS60
<Our item number 118561><B>1878-S &#36;10 Liberty. NGC graded MS-60.</B> Untoned with some minor bag marks and hairlines in the fields. Low mintage of 26,100 struck. NGC #1897325-003. Rare date in mint state. This lustrous example appeared in a Heritage sale &#40;2005&#41; where it was described as &#34;Similar in overall rarity to the 1876-S and 1877-S, the 1878-S is one of numerous unsung condition rarities in the long-lived Liberty Eagle series. Only 26,100 pieces were originally produced.&#34; The coin is &#34;sharply impressed, crisply detailed&#34; and for those whose specialty is Liberty eagles, representative of the high quality of work done at the San Francisco Mint in the 1870s. &#34;Both sides are richly colored in orange-gold hues with a mostly frosty texture that thins to modest brightness at a few angles. There are a typical amount of small and medium sized abrasions for the MS60 level of preservation. While not as well known as many of the CC-mint Liberty Eagle rarities, this coin is no less of a highlight that represents an important bidding opportunity for the astute specialist.&#34; <B>Pop 3; 1 in 61, and 1 in 64</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 8682&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;10,000 - 12,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 118561<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/118561.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/118561N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/118561N3.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/118561N4.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
