1863 Twenty Dollar, MS62
Near the Condition Census

1863 $20 MS62 PCGS. Ex: S.S. Republic. The 1863 Liberty double eagle is significantly scarcer than the San Francisco issue of this year, partly due to its smaller mintage of 142,760 pieces (compared to more than 966,000 S-mint coins). The rarity of the Philadelphia coin in Mint State is especially pronounced. PCGS lists only 24 pieces in all Uncirculated grades, just three of which grade finer than MS62. The present coin is the first piece in this grade that we have handled within the last two decades. The other coin, NGC certified, was in our 2018 FUN Signature, where it realized $57,600. This PCGS piece displays vibrant, frosty orange-gold mint luster and a bold strike. Scattered light abrasions limit the grade, but the only individual one worthy of mention is a small reed mark in the reverse field within the circle of stars above the eagle's head. Eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 9 in 62, 3 finer (3/21).(Registry values: N7079)
