Bright 1865 Double Eagle, MS62

1865 $20 MS62 PCGS. The 1865 is the final Type One Liberty Head double eagle struck at the Philadelphia Mint. It is most often seen in Very Fine and Extremely Fine grades. It becomes scarce in lower end About Uncirculated and even more so in Choice AU to AU58. Mint State coins are very rare (Douglas Winter and Adam Crum, 2002). These authors further note that the issue has below to average eye appeal due to numerous, deep abrasions and impaired luster.
This MS62 example sports highly attractive peach-gold color and bright luster, and the design elements are well struck. Most of the surfaces are quite smooth, but abrasions on the cheek and nose preclude a higher grade. Despite the flaws, we feel this coin projects decent eye appeal.(Registry values: N4719)
