Description

1872-S Double Eagle, MS61
Elusive Type Two Twenty

1872-S $20 MS61 PCGS. Micro S. Of the three 1872 double eagle issues, S-mint coins slightly edge out the Philadelphia products in terms of mint condition availability. That is somewhat misleading, however, as 1872-S double eagles are still very scarce in MS60 and MS61, and they are downright rare in higher grades. Khaki and orange-gold hues color this Uncirculated Type Two twenty dollar gold piece. Bagmarks are peppered over each side, but the only abrasion worth mentioning occurs below the bust tip left of the 1. Well-struck and highly lustrous. Population: 44 in 61, 8 finer (5/16).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26AF, PCGS# 8965, Greysheet# 9916)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
