Attractive 1863-S Double Eagle, MS61

1863-S $20 MS61 NGC. Ex: S.S. Republic. Large S variety. A large mintage of 966,570 double eagles was achieved at the San Francisco Mint in 1863. Historically, the issue has been readily available in circulated grades, with most examples seen in the VF range. Mint State specimens are decidedly scarce. Recent discoveries of the S.S. Brother Jonathan and S.S. Republic account for the majority of the Mint State coins known today. The present coin is an exciting example with lustrous surfaces and attractive color. A scattering of handling marks on Liberty's cheek and the reverse field accounts for the grade. Census: 37 in 61, 31 finer (6/09).
