1864-S Double Eagle, MS60
Scarce Date in Mint State

The new discoveries, possibly including the present coin, greatly increased the high grade populations. Bright brass-gold surfaces laced with light tan characterize the present offering. The design elements are generally well defined, and the fields are lustrous. Typically abraded, including some noticeable marks in the upper left obverse field. Census: 18 in 60, 47 finer (2/10).(Registry values: N2998)
