Description

1870 Liberty Twenty, MS61
Upper End for the Grade With CAC

1870 $20 MS61 PCGS. CAC. Ex: The Guilded Age Collection. Surprisingly scarce from its 155,150-piece mintage, the 1870 double eagle is seldom seen in any Mint State grade compared to other Type Two twenties. Contemporary collectors preferred proofs if they could get one, while Philadelphia Mint business strikes either circulated or were exported. This sharply struck example displays pleasing rich, straw-gold color with orange overtones. Marks are remarkably few for a double eagle at this grade level, with a few minor abrasions in the lower-right field and at Liberty's chin. Soft mint luster illuminates the original, attractive surfaces. CAC endorsement is seldom given at the MS61 level, yet entirely deserved by this pleasing double eagle. Population: 38 in 61, 27 finer. CAC: 8 in 61, 5 finer (6/23).(Registry values: N4719)
