1863 Double Eagle, AU58
Scarce No Motto Philadelphia Issue

1863 $20 AU58 NGC. According to Doug Winter's doubleeaglebook.com, only 350 to 450 examples of the 1863 twenty dollar gold piece are believed to survive from an original mintage of 142,790 coins. In fact, he calls the 1863 "one of the scarcer Type One double eagles from the Philadelphia mint." With only 25 to 35 coins in Mint State, most collectors would be over the moon with an example as fine as this borderline-Uncirculated representative. The surfaces showcase light wheat-gold color with partial frosty luster radiating softly from each side. Liberty's curls are well-defined, as are the stars and feathers. Peppered abrasions occur throughout, as expected. Census: 41 in 58, 24 finer (1/23).(Registry values: N1793)
