1872-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Bowers, in A Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins states that the highest auction price ever paid for a 1872-S double eagle was $8,625, for lot 840 of the May, 2000 Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection auction. We are unaware of any subsequent sales results that would challenge this record, which was established by this very coin. It was described at that time as

Reflective, mirrored fields and lustrous orange-gold devices provide an attractive cameo effect. Light surface marks are noted on both obverse and reverse. A very rare issue in high grades, with nearly all of the 20 to 30 Mint State survivors just MS60 in quality. Incredibly, the market value of this piece is only in the range of a couple of thousand dollars. Talk about potential!

Six and a half years later, PCGS has certified a total of 38 coins of the date in Mint State grades, and still none are finer than this piece. It is fully prooflike, although PCGS does not certify gold coins as such. It is also blessed with a strong strike for the issue, with full detail showing on all stars, although Liberty's hair is flat, as often found. Population: 3 in 62, 0 finer (11/06).
Ex: Parke-Bernet (5/68), lot 45; Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/00), lot 840.

1872-S $20 MS62 NGC. An underrated Type Two Twenty at the present level of preservation, the 1872-S has a certified population of only four coins in MS62 at NGC and PCGS. (There are just two pieces finer, 10/02.) This is an exceptionally smooth and attractive Double Eagle for the assigned grade. In fact, there do not appear to be any mentionable abrasions on either the obverse or the reverse. Accuracy, however, does compel us to mention a few rim dings outside star 3, the U and T in UNITED, and the D in the denomination. The luster is frosty, and both sides exhibit pleasing reddish-gold coloration. Generally well struck for the type, and worthy of inclusion in an advanced collection. This coin is finer than the '72-S Twenty in the Eagle Collection (an MS61 NGC example) that realized $4,025 as lot 4059 in our January 2001 FUN Signature Sale. An issue that is equally as rare as the 1871-S. (PCGS# 8965)
