Description

1860-S Double Eagle, MS61
Scarce Issue in Uncirculated Grades

1860-S $20 MS61 PCGS. Even though there were 18 examples salvaged from the S.S. Brother Jonathan, those pieces graded between XF40 and AU50. A couple of dozen Uncirculated pieces are known, but the 1860-S is infrequently offered at public auction. This sharply struck MS61 has lovely, frosted mint luster and rich reddish-gold patina. While there are numerous small abrasions over each side, none are large or worthy of individual mention. Population: 9 in 61, 14 finer (5/11).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 269F, PCGS# 8931, Greysheet# 9898)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
