1867-S Double Eagle, MS62
Great Aesthetic Appeal
Among the Finest Extant

1867-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Small Squat S. About 97% of the roughly 2,227 1867-S double eagles certified at PCGS and NGC combined survive in various circulated grades. Merely 3% remain in Mint State, and of those, this MS62 representative ranks among the finest at PCGS. A single MS63 at NGC is the only example of this mass-produced double eagle issue graded finer.

The surfaces feature deep orange-gold color with lilac accents and surprisingly vibrant, frosty mint luster. There are remarkably few small ticks or other marks, but a couple of slender pinscratches between stars 3 and 5 likely had an effect on limiting the grade. Still, considering the lack of other notable flaws and the phenomenal overall aesthetic quality, we have no qualms about calling this MS62 one of the very finest 1867-S double eagles extant. Population: 4 in 62, 0 finer (4/20).
