Description

1850 Double Eagle, MS62
Conditionally Scarce First-Year Example

1850 $20 MS62 NGC. This extremely popular first-year issue had a substantial mintage in excess of 1.1. million pieces, and examples are readily available, but most of the known coins have graded between VF and AU58. Mint State coins are considered rare. This is a lovely coin that displays light yellow-gold color and a radiant frosty sheen over both sides. The design motifs are fully struck, and only a small number of stray surface marks are evident, none of which are out-of-context for the MS62 designation. If not for the presence of a few wispy hairlines in the field areas, this pleasing example might have received an even higher grade. Census: 25 in 62 (2 in 62+), 13 finer (6/14).
