1863-S Double Eagle, MS62
Bright Peach-Gold Surfaces

1863-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Small S -- the scarcer of two mintmark varieties for the 1863-S double eagle. Nearly 1 million examples of this San Francisco twenty dollar issue were struck. "Today it is relatively easy to locate in all circulated grades. It can be located in the lowest Uncirculated grades with just a bit of effort but it remains rare in Mint State-62 and very rare above this," according to Doug Winter. Indeed, PCGS and NGC each report merely eight numerically higher grading events.

Bright peach-gold color graces each side of this lustrous, frosty No Motto double eagle. The upper stars and the eagle's neck and wing feathers show crisp detail, while the lower stars and Liberty's curls are moderately soft. A few hairlines and scattered ticks are unobtrusive. Population: 19 in 62 (2 in 62+), 8 finer (4/20).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 269R, PCGS# 8940, Greysheet# 9903)
