Description

1862-S Twenty Dollar, MS62+
Rare High-End Example

1862-S $20 MS62+ PCGS. The 1862-S is a less often discussed issue among Type One double eagles. More than 854,000 pieces were struck, and in circulation condition the date is readily available. Mint State coins, however, are conditionally scarce, and they are rare in MS62 or better grades. This Plus-designated piece displays a bold strike and lustrous, satiny orange-gold surfaces. Grade-limiting abrasions are light and scattered, producing little visual impact. Finer 1862-S double eagles are prohibitively rare for most collectors. Population: 10 in 62 (3 in 62+), 3 finer (7/22).(Registry values: N7079)
