Description

1853 Double Eagle, MS61
Semireflective Luster

1853 $20 MS61 NGC. This sharply struck Philadelphia twenty has unusual luster for the time, semireflective and stark with the slightest apricot tinge against saturated yellow-gold. While a number of light ticks are scattered across the obverse, the reverse is comparatively clean, and the overall eye appeal is better than the MS61 grade might suggest. Census: 27 in 61, 19 finer (11/14).
