1859-S Double Eagle, MS62
Only One Certified Finer

1859-S $20 MS62 PCGS. The 1859-S had an original mintage of 636,445 pieces but, as one would expect from an early S-mint double eagle, most of the surviving examples are only usually found in VF or XF. Probably no more than three dozen Uncirculated coins are known with 14 other MS62 PCGS-certified pieces, seven graded by NGC, and just one finer (11/18). This is a lovely coin that is certainly at the upper end of the stated grade. The original surfaces exude bright golden-rose and lilac patina with strong underlying mint luster. Sharply struck throughout with no reportable abrasions.
