1857 Double Eagle, MS62
Lovely Copper-Rose Accents
Scarce in Uncirculated Condition

1857 $20 MS62 PCGS. There is no comparison between the availability of the plentiful 1857-S double eagle and this Philadelphia issue, which is scarce in any Mint State grade. With a mintage of 439,375 coins and an estimated surviving population of 900 to 1,200+ pieces in all grades, the 1857 twenty dollar claims an average certified assessment that falls between AU50 and AU53. While 31 submissions are reported in MS62 at PCGS, only seven grading events are finer at that service (8/22).

Color is decidedly appealing with distinct shades of copper-rose that complement orange-gold surfaces overall. The centers are boldly struck. Pedigree markers occur below star 1 and in the field behind Liberty's lower curls.(Registry values: N4719)
