<Our item number 119217><B>1876-S &#36;20 Liberty. NGC graded MS-63.</B> Lovely light golden toning on both sides. A Nice example. A thrilling example of this always-popular Type 2 design. This exceptional coin is untoned and very nicely struck; but best of all it billows forcefully with frosty golden luster. There is little in the way to report of bagmarks. They are very few and deserve no mention. Having covered the mint bloom, we take stock of the coin&#39;s detail. Clockwork precision seen in the stars, hair waves, and intricate eagle point to it having been carefully struck and just as carefully handled in the century and a third since it was minted. Liberty&#39;s frosty cheek is almost as fresh, almost as pinkish bright as when first issued. This, by the way, is America&#39;s centennial year, 1876, which improves the collectability immeasurably. A week or two of ownership and the aching emptiness one felt before acquiring such a coin will be replaced by an eagerness to show it around to relatives and as sociates. The coin is set in an NGC grading holder, all nicely protected and garnished for the long journey into the future. <B>Pop 59; 11 finer, 9 in 64, 2 in 65</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 8978&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;8,500-9,000. <BR><BR>Our item number 119217<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/119217.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/119217N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/119217N3.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
