Here’s a great piece to add to your collection. PCGS has graded 561 as AU58 with 1,445 finer.
The 1878-S $20 Liberty Head Double Eagle marks a key shift in San Francisco Mint production. Unlike earlier dates with inconsistent striking quality, this issue shows refined hubbing that produced sharper details on Liberty's coronet and hair. The reverse eagle's feathers and scroll work stand out more crisply than in Philadelphia-minted counterparts, reflecting improved dies.
Its semi-prooflike surfaces set this coin apart from typical business strikes in the series. These reflective fields arise from polished planchets and careful handling, giving a mirror-like sheen in the stars and devices not seen in most circulated Liberty Heads. This trait, combined with AU-58 grade, retains nearly full luster while showing light friction only on the highest points like Liberty's cheek and the eagle's breast.
PCGS certification highlights its appeal for type collectors seeking nuanced varieties. The 1878-S avoids the heavy bag marks plaguing lower-mintage years, offering clean rims and balanced wear.
