1870 Type Two Twenty, MS63
Tied for Finest at PCGS

1870 $20 MS63 PCGS. As none have been found in major hoards, the Type Two double eagles are elusive in better Mint State grades. This incredible Select Mint State 1870 double eagle is tied for the finest that PCGS has graded with one finer piece at NGC, and it is only the second MS63 example that we have offered since 1993, with none finer. The connoisseur will be delighted with the quality. Both sides exhibit brilliant and frosty yellow mint luster with sharp design details. A single dark spot on Liberty's chin will serve to identify this piece in both past and future offerings. Population: 3 in 63 (1 in 63+), 0 finer (3/17).(Registry values: N1)

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

Weight: 33.44 grams

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
