The 1876-S Liberty Head Gold Double Eagle, minted at the San Francisco Mint, is a Type 2 coin (1866–1876) designed by James B. Longacre, showcasing Lady Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle with “IN GOD WE TRUST” on the reverse. Struck from 90% gold (0.9675 oz) and 10% copper. Certified PCGS MS61, it displays crisp details and minimal marks. Vibrant mint luster creates a dazzling cartwheel effect across striking rose-gold surfaces, making this sharply struck, superbly preserved coin a standout for any advanced double eagle collection. The mintage for this plentiful San Francisco Mint issue is 1,597,000 pieces, up more than 250,000 pieces from the previous year’s total at the West Coast facility. Many were exported, beginning in a significant way in 1879. We estimate a Mint State population for the 1876-S of 2,000 to 3,000 pieces, if not more. Most of these are at MS-60 to MS-61, though MS-62 pieces can be found with a modicum of patience. Valued at $3,500–$4,500 in MS61, the 1876-S is a favored type coin due to its availability in lower Mint State grades, though MS63+ examples are rare. Its radiant luster and strong eye appeal make it a compelling choice for collectors.
