While the 100-business-strike-strong 1875 issue is more famous, the 1876 eagle is immensely challenging, with just 687 circulation examples coined. With several dates that bear mintages of fewer than a thousand pieces and a history that crosses eight decades, the Liberty eagle series intimidates many would-be collectors, though the serious numismatist with the means to pursue the finest examples of the various issues can build a beautiful and important cabinet. Between the low mintage and a mediocre survival rate, the 1876 eagle has a small combined certified population, and most references published prior to 2007, including the first edition of Garrett and Guth, describe the issue as unknown in Mint State. "Unknown," however, does not necessarily mean "nonexistent," as the present example proves. When it was encapsulated, it rendered years of expert opinion irrelevant. A number of authorities have noted that reflective surfaces are typical for the issue, but NGC has graded only this coin as Prooflike, perhaps out of reluctance to assign that designation to pieces with distinctly impaired luster (6/08). Its lemon-gold fields are delightful mirrors, and the mildly contrasted devices offer impressive boldness, particularly on the hair behind the coronet and the eagle's feathers. Though this piece comes by its MS61 Prooflike designation honestly, with numerous wispy abrasions and a handful of more significant marks on each side, Liberty's cheek is surprisingly clean. The dedicated and discerning enthusiast should recognize the rarity of this important opportunity, and bid accordingly.Coin Engraver: Christian GobrechtShipping: Coins & Currency (view shipping information)Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
