Description

Uncirculated 1860 Double Eagle
An Attainable Type One Issue

1860 $20 MS61 PCGS. Although hardly a common date, this issue (with a mintage of nearly 600,000 pieces) is one of the more attainable Philadelphia Mint Type One double eagles in mint condition. It is much scarcer than the 1861 issue, the most plentiful of Type One twenty from this Mint. The peach-gold surfaces of this example display traces of light tan color on portions of the central devices, and exhibit some grade-limiting contact marks and scuffs on Liberty's face and neck and in the left obverse field. All of the design elements reveal relatively strong definition. Population: 24 in 61, 17 finer (4/10).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 269D, PCGS# 8929, GSID# 9796)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
Weight: 33.44 grams
AGW: 0.9675oz
