The 1876 Philadelphia Mint Liberty Head Gold Double Eagle, a Type 2 coin (1866–1876) designed by James B. Longacre, features 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, its mintage of 583,860 coins—nearly double the 1875 output—served commerce, with many exported. Graded PCGS MS61 (Mint State), it boasts crisp details and minimal contact marks. A vibrant rose-orange hue bathes both sides of this boldly struck, beautifully preserved coin, radiating PROOFLIKE originality and allure. The Philadelphia Mint delivered 583,860 double eagles for commercial use in 1876, nearly twice as many as the preceding year. Some of the mintage made its way overseas as was common in the era, and many of today’s lower-range Uncirculated examples are from those holdings. An estimated 1,000 to 1,500 coins survive in Mint State, primarily in MS60–MS61, though higher-grade specimens exist for dedicated collectors. Valued at $4,000–$5,500 in MS61, this Centennial-year issue is a favorite for gold type sets due to its historical significance and availability. Its lustrous surfaces and striking eye appeal make it a standout.
