Vibrant MS62 1870 Double Eagle

1870 $20 MS62 ANACS. While the CC-mint twenties of the same date receive most of the press, the Philadelphia 1870 double eagle has plenty of appeal of its own. Garrett and Guth offer: "The 1870 double eagle is surprisingly scarce in all grades. The number of coins graded by the major services is lower than most of the other Philadelphia Type 2 double eagles." As an MS62 coin, this vibrantly lustrous piece offers a tremendous opportunity for the astute collector. The devices are softly frosted with an alloy spot noted on the hair in back of Liberty's coronet. Scattered light abrasions visit two-toned yellow-gold fields, and a small cut is noted at Liberty's neck. Still, an appealing coin for the MS62 designation.(Registry values: N7079)
