Mint State 1860-S Liberty Double Eagle

1860-S $20 MS 60 PCGS. Despite a not insignificant mintage of 544,950 pieces, the 1860-S is a difficult coin to locate in Mint State. NGC and PCGS combined have seen only 32 coins in grades that range from MS 60 through MS 63 (11/00). The obverse is deeply colored in reddish-gold hues with mottled haziness and a few moderate abrasions. The reverse, on the other hand, is somewhat more attractive with a brighter, golden-rose sheen and no overly distracting bagmarks. Both sides are suitably defined for the type.
From the Helyn Van Huffel Collection.
