1878-S $10 Liberty Gold Eagle MS-61 PCGS
1878-S $10 Liberty Gold Eagle MS-61 PCGS
In 1878, the San Francisco Mint struck a remarkably small run of ten dollar gold pieces, totaling just 26,100 coins. Today, encountering one of these low mintage gold eagles in uncirculated condition is a notable event for coin enthusiasts. This specific specimen has been officially graded as Mint State 61 (MS-61), preserving the crisp details of its nineteenth-century craftsmanship. Constructed from 90 percent gold and containing 0.4838 troy ounces of the precious metal, the coin features the classic Liberty design on its obverse, dated 1878. The reverse displays the proud heraldic eagle surrounded by the words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination TEN D. Just below the eagle, the distinct S mintmark indicates its origin at the historic California minting facility.
