1854-S Liberty Head Double Eagle, MS62
Popular First S-Mint Issue

1854-S $20 MS62 PCGS. The year 1854 saw the first production of coins at the San Francisco Mint, and most of the effort was directed toward mintage of double eagles. According to Mint records, 141,468 pieces were struck and the majority of the coins were released into circulation. The regional economy was suffering an acute coin shortage at the time, so the new coins circulated heavily. Most examples seen today are well worn, and Mint State specimens are quite scarce. The present coin is an attractive MS62 example with sharp strike details and minimal abrasions for the grade. The light orange-gold surfaces radiate strong mint luster and intense visual appeal. Population: 20 in 62, 21 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N4719)
