Description
1854-S Double Eagle, XF45
Introductory San Francisco Issue
1854-S $20 XF45 PCGS. Large S mintmark, as always. A few
light marks and smooth circulation wear are the grade-determining
factors on this Choice XF inaugural San Francisco Mint issue. The
new mint managed to strike 141,468 double eagles in its first year
of branch mint production. Most of that mintage circulated on the
West Coast, which had a seemingly insatiable need for twenty dollar
gold coin. Traces of mint luster remain throughout the attractive
medium-gold surfaces.(Registry values: N991)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 268U, PCGS# 8913, Greysheet# 9849)
Weight: 33.44 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
