Lustrous Mint State 1872 Double Eagle

1872 $20 MS61 PCGS. This is a conditionally rare coin, like all Type Two double eagles, which typically are found in in Very Fine to AU grades. This MS61 specimen is one of only 36 so certified at PCGS, with 10 finer (11/09). At first glance the coin, at least in terms of eye appeal, appears considerably finer than the assigned grade. The numerous abrasions that pepper both sides are mostly of the undistracting sort. Rich orange-gold coloration and brilliant luster contribute.
