1869-S Liberty Head Double Eagle, MS60
Rare in Mint State

1869-S $20 MS60 PCGS. The 1869-S Liberty Head double eagle enjoyed a large mintage of 686,750 pieces, and the date is readily available in lower circulated grades today. Mint State coins are rare, and a PCGS graded MS64 example sold for $83,375 in 2005. The present coin is an attractive MS60 example, with excellent eye appeal and few abrasions for the grade. The surfaces are a light orange-gold, and mint luster is strong and satiny. The strike is just a little soft on Liberty's hair and the right obverse stars. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 9 in 60, 36 finer (7/10).(Registry values: N2998)
