1852 Double Eagle, MS63+
Rarely Encountered Finer

1852 $20 MS63+ PCGS. CAC. Ex: S.S. Central America. Produced at a time of great gold mining activity in California, this Philadelphia Mint piece is a remarkable memento of the historic Gold Rush era. This Select Mint State example ranks high among surviving coins given the mean certified grade of less than AU53. Only seven finer examples are certified at PCGS and NGC combined. While they have yet to grade a Mint State example, CAC has stickered two MS63 coins, three MS64 examples, and one that is graded MS65, out of a total of 389 approved 1852 double eagles. A lovely example for the connoisseur, this double eagle has frosty orange-gold luster and bold design definition, lacking the usual marks that so frequently plague these large gold coins. Population: 16 in 63 (3 in 63+), 5 finer. CAC: 2 in 63, 4 finer (11/23).(Registry values: N4719)
