Description

1870 Double Eagle, High-End MS62
Sharply Struck Type Two Coin

1870 $20 MS62 PCGS. Of the 155,150 Type Two double eagles manufactured at the Philadelphia Mint in 1870, only 63 submissions (likely including a number of duplications) have qualified for an Uncirculated assessment at PCGS. Among those coins, merely three pieces are graded finer that this lovely MS62 survivor. Pale rose accents complement luminous light orange-gold color overall. Both sides are thickly frosted and incredibly well-defined for a double eagle of this period. A tick on the jawline and another small one hidden within the adjacent curls are the only notable marks. Population: 20 in 62, 3 finer (9/20).
