1878-S Liberty Head Double Eagle. MS-62+ (PCGS).,A fully lustrous, softly frosted example with a sharp strike and original patina to boot. The Bland-Allison Act of 1878 had far-reaching consequences in coinage production. Unlike at some of the other minting facilities, however, this did not slow the output of double eagles at San Francisco where a total of 1,739,000 pieces were struck, up by 4,000 from the previous year. Readily available to collectors in most grades up to the About Uncirculated level, the issue becomes somewhat more of a challenge to locate at the Mint State level. A lovely and exceptionally well preserved example of a popular "something for everyone" issue.,,
