Description

1858-S Double Eagle, MS62
Satiny Condition Census Rarity

1858-S $20 MS62 NGC. The 1858-S double eagle is rare in Mint State, and most of the coins designated as such are heavily abraded, grading only MS60 or MS61. NGC and PCGS combined report only a half dozen coins that are finer than that. These include three MS62s and an MS63 at PCGS, and an MS62 and MS63 at NGC. This is the NGC MS62 specimen. The eye appeal of this piece profound for the grade, yielding sharp devices and satiny, surprisingly clean surfaces with rich peach-gold and yellow luster. Only scattered light marks and hairlines prohibit a finer grade in the view of NGC. Without doubt a Condition Census example of this overlooked San Francisco condition rarity. Census: 1 in 62, 1 finer (6/20).(Registry values: N1)
