Glittering MS62 1871-S Double Eagle

1871-S $20 MS62 PCGS. Following the discovery of the S.S. Central America treasure, which vastly increased the known numbers of unworn Type One double eagles, the Type Two has emerged as the most challenging subset of the Liberty series in Mint State. While the high-six-figure mintage of the 1871-S issue suggests availability in circulated grades, the date is a condition rarity in MS62, the state of this attractive example. Immensely lustrous surfaces are slightly frosted and pale yellow-gold. Casual inspection shows only a few small blemishes, though close inspection yields a number of wispy but grade-defining marks. Still, a remarkable example. Population: 17 in 62, 2 finer (6/10).(Registry values: N4719)
