1861 Twenty Dollar, MS63
Sharp, Frosted, and Appealing

1861 $20 MS63 PCGS. The massive 1861 double eagle mintage approached 3 million pieces from the Philadelphia Mint -- a record twenty dollar production that was not surpassed until 1904. Until shipwreck recoveries replaced it as the most available Type One double eagle issue in Mint State, the 1861 was the only viable candidate for an Uncirculated Type One coin. It remains scarce in Uncirculated condition to this day. This Select Uncirculated example is sharp, lustrous, and original. Peach-gold surfaces offer excellent eye appeal.
