1869 Double Eagle, MS61
Strong Impression, Lively Luster

1869 $20 MS61 PCGS. Like most other double eagle issues from this period, with the exception of certain large-scale shipwreck recoveries, the 1869 is a major condition rarity in Mint State. Uncirculated examples are tightly held, and the appearance of any such coin at auction once a year or so typically draws attention. This piece will undoubtedly catch the eye of series specialists. Its radiant orange-gold surfaces appear minimally abraded for the grade, though interested parties should not be surprised to find myriad ticks and marks upon close inspection. The stars and neck feathers are needle-sharp. Vibrant mint luster radiates from both sides. Population: 21 in 61, 20 finer (7/24).
