1879-S. NGC graded MS-60 PL. In 1879, the San Francisco Mint struck over 1 million double eagles for only the ninth time since it opened in 1854. Most of these coins either entered circulation, or were later exported for international transactions. Large quantities of the exports have since returned to America, but most examples were lightly worn or heavily abraded from rough bag handling. Mint State pieces remain quite rare, and prooflike examples such as this coin are virtually impossible to locate. Pop 3; 4 finer, 2 in 61, 2 in 62 (PCGS # 8991) . Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500. Categories: $20 Liberty/With Motto
