1878 Liberty Twenty, MS62
Attainable Type Three Double Eagle

1878 $20 MS62 NGC. A vibrant honey-gold palette on rich, frosty luster reveals hints of lilac and olive upon viewing on this well-struck Liberty double eagle. A small, russet die grease spot appears between obverse stars 2 and 3, otherwise abrasions and imperfections are minor and consistent with the grade. This example is NGC's VP-005 variety, which features a repunching of the 878 in the date and doubling in LIBERTY, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the reverse stars. Double eagles from this issue are generally available through MS62, but finer pieces become challenging as NGC reports only 46 numerically finer coins, presenting this example as a popular alternative for type collectors (4/25).(Registry values: N1793)
