1871-S Double Eagle, MS61
Lustrous and Pleasing

1871-S $20 MS61 PCGS. Although the 1871-S double eagle mintage nears the 1 million coin mark, typical survivors are usually circulated. Most examples grade XF or less. About Uncirculated pieces are scarce to one extent or another, and often heavily bagmarked. The issue's average grade is AU53. This lustrous MS61 example displays fewer scattered marks than often seen for this San Francisco twenty. Orange-gold surfaces are partially reflective and radiantly lustrous. Abrasions are tiny with a few small scuffs on Liberty's cheek. PCGS has certified only 52 finer examples (2/25).(Registry values: N2998)
