1876-S Type II/II. Minute S. AU-58 NGC.
This lustrous specimen is thriving with expansive cartwheel activity broken by just a touch of rub on the design high points. The silver centers yield slowly to pale champagne gold highlights at the rims. The strike is crisp throughout and only diminished slightly by the previously mentioned light rub. No unsightly marks, digs, or blemishes of any serious nature can be seen with the naked eye, an attribute shared by the truly “high-end” representatives of the grade. With the advent of the new Type II obverse die – points of scroll with LIBERTY now point downward -- used here for the first time, Miss Liberty now has five fingers on her hand clasping the olive branch. The newest digit is her index finger – the poor lady went through life prior to late 1876 with just four fingers on her right hand until that index was sneaked into the design during some 1876 touch-up die work! Choice for the grade with every turn and nuance.

NGC Census: Some 600+ examples of the date have been certified as AU-58 or finer; the finest are a trio of pieces called MS-66 by the firm.
