Scarce Mint State 1879-S Double Eagle MS61 PCGS

1879-S $20 MS61 PCGS. Well struck with a bright, pleasing appearance. Rich green-gold and reddish coloration adds to the eye appeal of the piece. Moderately reflective prooflike fields are observed on both the obverse and reverse, which tend to 'magnify' the many small abrasions that they carry. An issue rarely encountered in Mint State, this example is, nonetheless, lustrous and appealing.(Registry values: N1793)
