Description

1860 Double Eagle, MS62
Mint State Type One

1860 $20 MS62 NGC. All Mint State Type One double eagles are scarce and desirable, but especially so when significant bagmarks and abrasions are nowhere to be seen on smooth, attractive surfaces such as this coin possesses. Although nearly 100 examples of this Philadelphia date were salvaged from the S.S. Republic, MS62 or finer representatives remain rare. This radiant twenty is apricot-gold with cartwheel mint luster. The portrait is unmarked, with the surrounding fields pleasing and unabraded. A bold strike completes the appeal. Census: 11 in 62 (2 in 62+), 6 finer (1/14).(Registry values: N4719)

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

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
