- 1871-S Liberty Head Eagle. AU-53 (NGC). With bright, vivid rose-honey color to surfaces that retain appreciable semi-reflective mint frost in the fields. Softly defined through the centers, although the S mintmark is bold. 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. This is a significant offering that will catch the eye of astute gold collectors. NGC Census: 8; 14 finer (AU-58 finest and both this service and PCGS). PCGS# 8662. NGC ID: 264Y. Click here for certification details from NGC.
