- 1879 Liberty Double Eagle. MS-63 (PCGS). Worthy of a laurel or palm for its attractiveness and rarity, this 1879 has it all: needle sharp strike on obverse and reverse, attractive luster, excellent eye appeal, and the status of being given one of the highest grades awarded by PCGS for a double eagle of this date and mint. For the double eagle specialist, this piece will be front row and center as it crosses the block.
