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 MS61 has lovely, frosted mint luster and rich variegated reddish-gold and yellow-gold patina. While there are numerous small abrasions over each side, none are large or worthy of individual mention. The strike details are somewhat irregular with complete star definition on the obverse, but somewhat weak detailing on Liberty's hair and the oval of stars on the reverse.(Registry values: N4719)
