1858-S Liberty Double Eagle, MS61
Conditionally Rare Any Finer

1858-S $20 MS61 NGC. Despite a substantial mintage of 846,710 pieces, the 1858-S Liberty double eagle is seldom seen in high grade. The issue circulated widely in the hard-money economy of the American West, and few examples were saved by contemporary collectors. As a result, the 1858-S is rare in MS61 condition, and finer coins are virtually unobtainable. This attractive MS61 example exhibits sharply detailed design elements and lustrous yellow-gold surfaces that are lightly abraded for the grade. Census: 23 in 61 (2 in 61+), 2 finer (5/25).
