1867-S Double Eagle, MS61
Mint State Rarity

1867-S $20 MS61 NGC. The 1867-S double eagle is a recognized rarity in Mint State, as is seen by even a glance at the certified population data. But it may actually be rarer in Uncirculated condition than generally thought. The combined NGC and PCGS census reports 52 Mint State representatives but this likely includes numerous resubmissions. In the last two-plus decades, we have handled only 13 Uncirculated coins, including some reappearances of previously offered pieces -- none graded finer than MS61. This piece is vibrantly lustrous with yellow-gold surfaces that show warm peach and orange overtones. Scattered abrasions limit the grade but none are individually obtrusive. Eye appeal is pleasing. Census: 16 in 61, 9 finer (7/16).(Registry values: P6)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26A2, PCGS# 8952, Greysheet# 9908)
