Attractive 1872 Double Eagle, MS62

1872 $20 MS62 NGC. Within the series of Type Two double eagles there are several conditionally scarce P-mints, with issues such as the 1868 or 1870 being two of the more high profile dates. The unheralded 1872 is an issue with a larger mintage that often goes unnoticed. Granted, an AU55 or AU58 example can be obtained without too much difficulty, but finding something better than a heavily abraded Unc. can require a great deal of patience. Offered here is a well struck coin with attractive yellow-gold coloration blushed with apricot. Only a reeding mark trio to the left of Liberty's ear precludes what might well be an important advance in grade. Census: 12 in 62, 2 finer (11/09).
