Description

Pleasing 1863-S Double Eagle, MS62

1863-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Small S. The 1863-S twenty dollar, with a mintage approaching 1 million pieces, is available through the About Uncirculated level of preservation. Mint State examples are very scarce, though a number were discovered aboard the shipwreck S.S. Brother Jonathan. MS62 is the highest grade most collectors will be able to locate as finer examples are elusive.
The lustrous surfaces of this MS62 coin have a frosty texture and display highly attractive apricot-gold and mint-green patina with soft lilac accents. An above average strike delivers sharp definition to the obverse stars and most of Liberty's hair, elements that are typically weak. The few grade-defining marks are small and do not detract from the coin's pleasing overall eye appeal.(Registry values: N4719)
