1870 Liberty Twenty, MS61

1870 $20 MS61 PCGS. The 1870 Liberty double eagle claims a smallish mintage of 155,150 pieces and the issue is definitely a better date in the Philadelphia series. Like most Type Two twenties, the 1870 circulated widely at the time of issue and few examples were saved for numismatic purposes. The 1870 is particularly elusive in Mint State condition.

The present coin is an attractive MS61 example with well-detailed design elements that show just a touch of softness on Liberty's hair. The lustrous orange-gold surfaces show the minimum number of minor contact marks for the grade. Population: 19 in 61, 22 finer (9/15).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 26A7, PCGS# 8957, Greysheet# 9807)

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
