Description

Intriguing 1871-S Micro S Twenty, MS61

1871-S $20 MS61 PCGS. CAC. A remarkable and rare example, despite the mintage of 928,000 pieces. This one is prooflike with myriad tiny nicks but none of any significance. It is surprisingly nice for an example of the date with a very low PCGS population.
This example has an extremely small mintmark that is centered over the right upright of the N in TWENTY. The mintmark is actually smaller than a single border dentil. Minor die varieties of Liberty double eagles have been little studied over the years, and represent an area for great numismatic research.(Registry values: N2998)
