Description

1859-S Double Eagle, AU55
Moderately Lustrous

1859-S $20 AU55 NGC. Mint State examples of the 1859-S double eagle are scarce in any grade, while AU coins are slightly more available for patient collectors. This Choice AU example displays lustrous fields and design recesses, while butter-gold patina and only light wear. Myriad small abrasions are not bothersome. A small, multicolor toning spot between stars 7 and 8 serves as a pedigree marker.(Registry values: N1793)
