Description

1852 Twenty Dollar, Strong MS63
Incredibly Clean Surfaces

1852 $20 MS63 NGC. More 1852 double eagles are known in Mint State than any other non-shipwreck issue from the decade, according to Doug Winter, but there is no denying the issue's rarity in Select Uncirculated condition. Most examples are seen in MS62, and very few exist in this grade. Only three or four are known finer.

The surfaces are exceptionally clean for the grade. From a technical standpoint, this coin may very well challenge the top-certified examples. Slightly subdued mint luster possibly keeps this coin back, but it must be one of the best-preserved examples out there with respect to surfaces marks. The strike is razor-sharp. Census: 7 in 63, 2 finer (11/17).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 268K, PCGS# 8906, Greysheet# 9787)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
