Description

Appealing 1869-S Double Eagle, MS62

1869-S $20 MS62 NGC. The 1869-S twenty dollar is plentiful in Extremely Fine and About Uncirculated grades. Mint State examples are rare, most being in the MS60 to MS61 range, the finest condition most collectors are likely to encounter of this issue.
Rich peach-gold patination on this MS62 specimen displays subtle traces of mint-green. Its design features exhibit better definition than typically seen, though the first three stars reveal the usual softness in the centers. Most of Liberty's hair, the shield, and the eagle's plumage are strong. The luster also appears above average, though its flow is occasionally broken by light to moderate marks. All in all, an appealing piece for the designated grade.
